A Rare Miniature Green Lacquer and Chinoiserie Bracket Clock

This delightful superb quality eight day miniature bracket clock is in the 18th century style.

The fine wooden case, with its domed top and brass carrying handle, is finished in rich green lacquer and beautifully hand-painted with Chinese chinoiserie scenes, which include people in a wooded landscape with temples, rivers with footbridges, etc., all beautifully hand-painted in raised coloured enamels with flowers and trellis work highlighted in gold.

The clock has a fully hand engraved arched dial with a raised chapter ring with hand engraved Roman numerals and above there is a domed silver roundel which bears the name of the high quality retail jeweller Oddy Wilson of Harrogate who originally sold this clock.

At the rear, there is a hinged door with a brass catch giving access to the English brass eight day movement which has a top escapement with a time adjustment lever. Below there is a knob for altering the position of the hands. And at the bottom a fixed key for winding.

The brass movement is stamped Made in England

In all this clock is rare, high quality, small and highly decorative and in very good condition with an eight day timepiece movement which is in excellent working order.

English, circa 1950

Height 20cm x width 11.5cm x depth 8cm
