A very impressive late 19th century ebonised brass mounted quarter chiming bracket clock
Henry Bright, Leamington
The substantial case surmounted by a large pineapple finial above a pagoda top, fitted with pierced brass sound frets backed in original silk and set over a moulded break-arch section with an additional fret, the sides flanked by brass Corinthian-topped columns and fitted with large cast carrying handles above matching frets, the base with applied brass decoration and resting on four finely cast and decorated feet. The 12-inch brass dial with silvered chapter ring with Roman hours and Arabic five-minute markers, enclosing a matted centre with applied nameplate signed Henry Bright, Leamington, and fitted with blued steel hands, the arch framed by large cast spandrels. Below, a subsidiary calendar dial incorporating separate indicators for day, date, and month. The impressive triple fusee movement with anchor escapement, chiming the Westminster quarters on a nest of four large polished bells and striking the hours on a substantial steel gong. The backplate and pendulum finely engraved. Ticking and striking. 93cms (37ins) high.
