Antique American Clocks
English 8-bell bracket clock, ca. 1843-1897.
An intricately carved walnut
case, 29.5 inches tall by 14.5 inches wide, with a dark original finish.
I see no missing pieces of trim or carvings.
The silvered dial sits behind a thick beveled glass in the silvered bezel, which releases with a push-button on the side.
dial is signed Hunt & Roskell, London,
well regarded jewelers
on Bond St who held a highly prestigious Royal Warrant from Queen
The clock plays Westminster Chimes on four bells and a tune I don't recognize on eight bells; there is a lever on
the upper right of the dial to select 4 or 8 bells, and a lever on the upper left to silence the chime.
The heavy brass plate,
triple fusee bracket movement is unsigned; it is running without problem, chiming on the quarter hours and counting the hours on a
large cathedral gong.
The only shortcoming I can find is the lack of a latch on the back door.
$2500-$5000.
