Description
A fine late 18th century ebonised bracket clock with deadbeat escapement and associated bracket
Vulliamy, London, no. 311
The ribbed handle set on a shallow caddy over a well moulded cornice and tall arched side frets backed in red silk, on a moulded base and brass block feet. The 6.75 inch dial with shallow arch and silvered signature plaque flanked by dials for strike/silent and rise-and-fall regulation, heightened by engraved single flowers, the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring enclosing the finely matted centre with chamfered date aperture and good original blued steel hands, all framed by foliate scroll spandrels. The very substantial twin gut fusee movement with five knopped and finned pillars, deadbeat escapement and rack striking on the bell, (a cord to the right hand side will allow the last hour to be re-struck on demand), the pendulum suspended from a pair of tear-drop shaped cocks, the backplate signed and numbered within a floral swag cartouche on an otherwise plain ground, with substantial L-shaped securing brackets. Ticking and striking. Together with a bespoke handmade ebonised wall bracket with integral drawer base. The clock 41cms (16ins) high. The bracket a further 21cms (8.25ins) high (2)
Footnotes:
We are grateful to Mr Roger Smith who confirms that the Vulliamy records state that this clock was sold in 1799 to a Mr Seivers.
