Bracket clock; late 19th-early 20th century.Rosewood and gilt bronze.Chronograph with chime. Measurements: 59 x 28 x 18 cm.Bracket clock made of rosewood which is structured on four bronze legs conceived with a design inspired by classicism. 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. This type of clock originated in the 1960s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock, replacing the previous "foliot" regulator or balance. This change made it necessary to provide the mechanism with a case to protect it from shocks that could alter its movement. This was the origin of the watches known in England as brackets, i.e. portable watches. These were short cases which housed a mechanism held between two thick plates and contained, 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. This bracket was a separate piece that was usually made at the same time, with decoration to match the clock. Later, however, the base and clock began to be made separately.
