Clock · Bracket clock

This late 19th-century bracket clock, dated circa 1880, is of English manufacture. It is constructed with an oak skeleton featuring a figured walnut veneer, topped with a pagoda-style arch and a gilded floral finial. The front door is adorned with gilded bronze caryatids, while the sides feature pierced gilded bronze panels. The base rests on gilded bronze feet with acanthus leaf decorative strips. The clock utilizes an eight-day, two-train chain-driven fusée movement that strikes on a coiled gong. The five-inch dial includes a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and gilded bronze spandrels. A subsidiary dial at the top allows for Strike/Silent selection. The clock stands 36 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. According to the auction description, the item has been recently serviced and is in working condition, accompanied by door and winding keys.
