English mahogany bracket clock
Record status
Individual type · partial
This English bracket clock features a classic mahogany wood casing and a distinct arched design. The clock face is round, featuring a white metallic dial with black Roman numerals and matching dark-colored hands.
The case is constructed from mahogany, complemented by a polished brass handle at the top for portability and brass feet at the base. Decorative brass fretwork panels are inset into the front of the mahogany case, providing a refined aesthetic accent below the main dial. The clock comes equipped with a winding key, allowing for manual operation of the internal mechanism. Standing at a height of 17 inches (43.2 cm), the clock presents a traditional profile typical of English horological design.
The combination of dark polished wood with the brass accents creates a warm and sophisticated appearance suitable for a desk or shelf display. This piece is representative of bracket clocks, which were traditionally designed to sit on a bracket or shelf and serve as both a reliable timekeeping device and an elegant decorative object for domestic interiors.
