Stock No.15752
A fine Georgian walnut bracket clock by John Greaves of Newcastle (born c.1725 and active between 1745-94) with an eight day five pillar twin train fusee movement and anchor escapement. The clockface has a beautifully silvered chapter ring and subsidiary dial, the former engraved with both Roman and Arabic numbers, the latter illustrating the strike silent mechanism. These are framed by ornate gilt brass spandrels. The clock has a beautifully engraved brass backplate with scrolling foliate decoration, which is a mark of quality and attention to detail. It strikes the hour on a single bell. With restorations.
English, c.1760.
