Description
A fine and rare mid 18 century quarter chiming table clock, chinoiserie decorated on a light yellow ochre ground
Eardley Norton, London, numbered 297
The bell top with five cone finials over a pair of side handles, shaped and circular glazed side apertures, and a moulded base on (later) ogee brass bracket feet, decorated all over with birds, flowers, buildings and figures on a yellow ochre ground, framed by gilt and red borders with green and gilt lattice-work panels to the corners. (The figures include a lone woman carrying a basket of eggs, a man with what appears to be a fish basket, and another pair of walking figures.)

The 6.75 inch arched brass dial signed in a shaped recessed panel flanked by twin subsidiaries for 'Chime/Not Chime' and choice of tune 'Minuet/Cotillion', numbered 297 in the upper right hand corner, and bearing the stamp 'E.Carrion/Orense' (a 20th century restorer?), the Roman and Arabic chapter ring framed by rococo scroll spandrels, finely matted centre with chamfered date aperture and original blued steel hands. The mask behind the door further decorated with gilt flowers within red line borders.

The triple gut fusee movement with substantial plates united by six knopped pillars, rack striking the hours on a bell and chiming each quarter on a run of eight bells and 16 hammers, and playing a choice of two tunes on the hour, the going train with knife-edge verge escapement. The backplate signed in a foliate reserve Eardley Norton, LONDON' and numbered in the top right hand corner.
53cms (1ft 9ins) high.
