Description

An 8-day triple fusee movement, with the original verge escapement striking the hours to a bell via a rack and snail striking system and the quarters being played on a nest of eight bells, which can also be silenced. There is also a repeating function, and the back plate with the boarder engraved, and also signed 'J. N. Martyn Falmouth'.

The inverted bell top case is magnificent in its style and construction and uses the finest flame mahogany veneers. The gilded mounts are of excellent quality, and five urn-shaped finials surmount the top of the case. The sides of the case are glazed with carrying handles above. The rear door is also glazed.

The 7 ¾" engraved silvered brass break arch dial with two subsidiary dials set within the break arch, with the choices of Chime/Not Chime, and Air/Song, divided by a cartouche signed 'J. N. Martyn Falmouth'. The silvered engraved chapter ring consists of both Roman and Arabic numerals and is finished with the original finely cut blued steel hands and gilded spandrels.

A bracket clock is a portable spring-driven clock historically designed to sit on a wall bracket or a table surface, often featuring intricate mechanical movements and chiming capabilities.

These timepieces typically feature a solid timber carcass, most commonly mahogany or ebonised wood, complemented by gilded brass mounts, cast spandrels, and silvered dials.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-engraved backplate, the quality of the brass movement, the integration of the dial, and the patination and construction methods of the wooden case.

Positioning the clock as a focal point on a mantelpiece, a console table, or within a dedicated study allows its traditional craftsmanship to create a sophisticated contrast against minimalist furnishings.

Regular servicing by a professional horologist is essential to clean and lubricate the gear train, while the case should be dusted gently with a dry, soft cloth avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
