Description

A high quality mahogany Library bracket clock, made and retailed by John Frodsham of Gracechurch Street London, clock-maker to HM Queen Victoria. It has a plain rectangular case, with a fluted frieze beneath the graduated top. The clock stands on four nicely turned feet. The dial is an off white with black Roman numerals and an outer chapter ring. Brass moon hands.
This eight day five pillar double fusee mechanical movement has been fully serviced and is in full working order. This strikes on a bell. circa 1850's To the back of the case is a silk covered fretwork door. Some slight losses and repairs however this certainly does not detract from such a wonderful piece.

In 1854 the firm was granted the Royal Warrant and made keeper of Her Majesty’s antique clocks. For over 125 years Charles Frodsham & Co. were responsible for the maintenance of the Royal antique clocks and remained the last independent clock-makers permitted to have workshops in Buckingham Palace.
