french marquetry bracket clock

Circa 1820, monumental sized French bracket clock with its large ormolu canopy depicting a basket with flower heads on it. Beneath this the clock itself has a large white and black enamelled face with hand cut gilded hands. There is a makers name on top, two winding holes and both Roman and Arabic numerals. The case is profusely inlaid with floral marquetry on all sides and is completely encased in high Rococo style ormolu mounts. Inside, the back of the clock also has floral marquetry. The sound board on the side is stylish open fretwork ormolu with fabric behind it. The clock is bombe shaped and stands on a very elegant wall bracket which again is smothered in ormolu mounts and finishes with an extended piece of ormolu similar to that on the top. The clock has been serviced and is working.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
