George III Bracket Clock, signed Simpson Wigton. England, second half of the 19th century.Mahogany case with bronze appliques.Silver dial with gilt bronze spandrels.With key.In running condition, but in need of refinishing. Some old xylophagus.Measures: 44 x 27 x 17 cm.English table clock, bracket type, with the dial signed "Simpson Wigton". It has a front with a simple architectural composition, raised on a base with a cut-out skirt and finished off with a slope of curved angles. The front of the clock has classical foliate compositions, with vegetal latticework on the sides. The dial is numbered in Roman numerals (hours) and Arabic numerals (minutes). Above the dial, with a silver-plated disc, is a second dial with a chiselled eagle and the engraved inscription "Tempus fugit". The handle finish gives the piece great functionality and makes it easy to carry.Bracket clocks of English origin date back to the 1960s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock, replacing the previous "foliot" regulator or balance wheel. This change made it necessary to provide the mechanism with a case to protect it from shocks that could alter its movement. This is how transportable watches came into being. These were short case pieces, which housed inside them a mechanism held between two thick plates and containing, as the driving force for each train, a combination of a hub and a snail. These clocks were originally intended to be placed on a bracket, hence their English name.

Boulle style clock; France, late 19th century.Gilt bronze, ebonised wood and brass marquetry. Similar to tortoiseshell.Measurements: 51 x 30 x 18 cm.The clock has a gilt dial, with Roman numerals enamelled in cobalt blue on porcelain, and stands on a bracket decorated to match, also with marquetry. The set consists of a clock and bracket, modelled on André Charles Boulle's designs, made around 1800. The design follows the models created by André Charles Boulle (1642-1732) during the reign of Louis XIV. It is decorated with the artist's own marquetry, in ebony and metal, and important motifs in relief and rounded bulge, including figurative elements, which in the case of Boulle's furniture were carved pieces in wood, here already applied bronzes more typical of the style of the period. The decoration is completely Baroque, in the style of the French decorative arts of the last period of Louis XIV's reign. This is because this period was key in the development of the decorative arts in the period of Louis XVI, as designers and artists turned their gaze to the Regency style, the transition from Baroque (classical) to Rococo (anti-classical), in search of formulas for the transition from the Rococo style to the new Neoclassical. Thus, we see a great importance of classicist figuration, with allegorical figures adorning the front and the finial, as well as fantastic figuration derived from baroque chinoiserie, an architectural structure that is also baroque, chromatic contrast typical of Boulle and a profusion of motifs such as turnstones, leaves, masks and classical vases that seem to have been taken directly from the ornamental background of French classicist baroque. Even the basic material, ebony wood, can be related to that period, as it was the most popular wood in Baroque furniture. However, the profusion of gilding speaks of a different period, somewhere between the neoclassical and the Empire.

The wooden body with a rectangular structure finished off in the form of a semicircular arch, has a hinged door with a glass that allows you to see inside where the dial with Roman numerals and richly ornamented with incised plant motifs can be seen.Bracket clocks of English origin are notable mainly for their mechanism, but also for their decoration.
