A third quarter of the 18th century English red Chinoiserie lacquered quarter chiming table clock with enamel dials
Eardley Norton, London, No.368
The bell-top case decorated all over with chinoiserie figures picked out in gold and set around buildings within foliate sprays and lattice work detailing, surmounted by five gadrooned urn finials over side handles and pairs of sound apertures to each side (note only one now glazed, and case in need of attention generally), on a moulded plinth with shaped apron on brass ogee feet. The 6 inch white enamel Roman and Arabic dial with blued steel moon hands below a strike/silent subsidiary. The substantial triple gut (now wire) fusee movement with six heavy knopped pillars, pivoted verge escapement and rack strike on the hour on a bell, chiming the quarters on a nest of eight bells and hammers (note the largest quarter bell broken, the nest stand in need of straightening). Ticking; striking train and chiming train in need of attention. 48cms (19ins) high.

Footnotes
Please note that this clock is sold as seen and it offers a wonderful restoration project. Several of the case joints have become loose, the quarter bell stand is bent and has lost the largest bell, but the enamel dials are fine. For a more complete assessment, please see the condition report.
