A late 18th century ebonised quarter chiming table clock with enamel dials
Eardley Norton, London, Number 2202
The arched top surmounted by a caddy and five ball finials, with moulded cornice, the sides with twin foliate-cast handles over lattice-work sound frets backed in red silk, on a plinth base and ogee bracket feet. The 7.5 inch arched brass dial with strike/silent subsidiary flanked by scroll spandrels and a steel square to operate the rise-and-fall regulation mechanism, the main enamel dial with black Roman and Arabic numerals framing the concentric date ring 1-31, with blued steel and lacquered brass hands. The substantial triple chain fusee movement with pivoted verge escapement, rack striking the hours on a single bell and sounding the quarters on a run of eight graduated bells, signed within a large foliate cartouche below fruit and flowers, numbered to the top right hand side and again on the edge of the plate, secured to the case via engraved L-shaped brackets, with engraved pendulum bob and holdfast. Ticking, striking the hours and quarters. Together with two case keys, and two winding keys. 56cms (22ins) high
