A rare George III gilt brass miniature bracket clock case and dial. Moore, London, second half of the 18th century, the movement later. The current French eight-day backwound movement with silvered platform lever escapement and numbered 13602 to backplate, the original 2.5 inch brass break-arch dial painted with blossoming foliage and applied with white enamel Roman numeral disc signed MOORE, LONDON to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gilt beetle-and-poker hands and conforming enamel STRIKE/SILENT roundel to arch, the gilt brass break-arch case with hinged carrying handle and vase turned finials above decorative applied moulding to edges and conforming glazed door to front, on moulded base with splayed bracket supports with pointed pad feet, 15cm (6ins) high excluding handle. The current lot can probably be best described as a particularly rare early carriage clock due to the use of brass in the case and its small portable nature. The painted floral decoration which forms the background infill to the dial is often seen on clocks destined for the export market, the brass case also is more usual for a clock made for an overseas client (particularly Chinese); however the English annotations to the dial confirm that this particular clock was supplied for domestic consumption. Unfortunately the lack of forename makes attribution to a specific maker problematic as there were many with the surname ‘Moore’ working in London during the latter half of the 18th century.
