Clock · Library clock

This Regency library clock, manufactured around 1810, is constructed from mahogany with brass inlay. The case features an ebonised-edged sloped top surmounted by a gilt-brass pineapple finial, with ebonised detailing at the corners and gilt-brass floral basket handles at the sides. It stands on a molded base with four brass spherical feet. The 6-inch diameter cream-colored dial displays Roman numerals and moon-style blued-steel hands, shielded by a convex glass in a hinged gilt-brass bezel. Internally, the clock operates on an 8-day single-fusee mechanical movement utilizing an anchor escapement and featuring an ogee backplate. According to the auction report, the movement has undergone a full service and overhaul. The clock is accompanied by its pendulum, winding key, and door keys.
