Antique Triple Chain Fusee Bracket Clock John Barwise London Chime Silent.
This superb antique bracket clock has an ebonised case with a wonderful shaped top with a finial to each corner as well as one to the centre. There is then a wonderful moulding leading to the body of the case which has a large, shaped brass carry handle to each side as well as a wonderful shaped brass panel with silk backing so that the chimes can be heard clearly. The body of the case also has wonderful “maiden” brass mounts with flowers below each woman to both front corners. There are then a selection of shaped brass mounts to the front door which even has its original working lock and key. The back door then has a glass viewing window so that the movement can be seen as well as having its original working lock and key. Finally the base of the case has a moulding followed by beautiful shaped brass feet and a lovely floral brass mount to the front.
The dial is then silvered and set out in roman numerals in a beautiful and unusual font. The corners and arch of the dial is then engraved with intricate scrollwork with superb flowers in the spaces. The arch then has three subsidiary dials with the left dial adjusting the clock if running slow or fast, the middle dial to change the clock between “CHIME” and “SILENT”, and the right dial to change the clock between “FULL CHIME” and “WESTMINSTER CHIME”. The dial is then signed to the centre by the retailer “TAYLOR & HARRISON 5 Hills Place Oxford Circus W” as well as the maker “JOHN BARWISE London”. Finally the dial is finished by two shaped, blued steel fingers.
The triple, chain fusee movement is then wound from the front and can be accessed via the back where the pendulum can be hung. The clock then chimes on the quarter past, half past, quarter to and the hour on 8 bells as well as chiming the number of hours on a gong. This superb quality movement even comes complete with its original travel nut to hold the pendulum still. Finally it is complete with its pendulum and weight and ticks away and chimes exactly as it should.
