Table clock; France, c.1840.Gilt bronze.Measurements: 49 x 24 x 15 cm.Table clock made of gilded bronze, with a sculptural concept typical of this period. It consists of a stepped base with sharp edges, a reflection of the taste for clean volumes typical of the aesthetics of the time, on which the structure on which the clock case is placed rises, on which we can see the round figures representing a woman dressed in a rich and wide dress accompanied by a man, who holds her in his arms. From the scene, their gestures and the style of dress worn by both, it can be seen that this is a scene of gallantry. This was a very popular genre at the time. Such scenes were very common in the decoration of table clocks, often depicting mythical or religious figures. The clock face has Roman numerals in black on a white background, with black hands.

George II Bracket Clock, signed ROBERT HIGGS. London, first half of the 18th century.Blond mahogany veneered case.Gilt bronze dial with gilt bronze spandrel, exposed pendulum, chime override dial.Calendar of the month. Eight-day winding machine, square plates, engraved on the back, hour chiming on a bell.Measurements: 52 x 30 x 30 cm.English table clock, bracket type, signed by the clockmaker Robert Higgs. Its case is veneered in blond mahogany. It has a front with a simple architectural composition, with a façade topped by a rounded arch raised on a moulded base, which in turn is raised on four bronze legs. The whole has a sloping top with curved angles. It has an arched top handle, which makes the piece very functional, as it can be easily moved. The front of the clock is decorated with garlands and classical vegetal compositions, while the sides of the clock have a glass plate that allows the interior of the mechanism to be seen. The dial features Roman numerals (for the hours) and Arabic numerals (for the minutes) engraved in black on gilt, with a gilt centre, and a calendar of the month.A well-known London watchmaker, Robert Higgs is documented as working in Sweetings Alley in London in 1743. He was a member of the Clockmakers Company from 1750 to 1769.Bracket clocks of English origin are notable mainly for their mechanism, but also for their decoration. This type of clock originated in the 1760s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock, replacing the previous "foliot" or balance regulator. 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.The English developed a watchmaking mechanics distinct from that of the rest of Europe, based on an industry of specialised workshops producing products of great technical perfection. The cases were made by cabinetmakers who enriched the watches, turning them into real jewels. For this reason, throughout the 18th century English clocks and watches were evidence of the stylistic evolution that developed in English cabinetmaking, starting with the William and Mary and Queen Anne models, passing through the Chippendale and Hepplewithe styles and finally returning to classicism with the Adam, the Sheraton and finally the Regency. As for the specific type of bracket clock, it maintained its elegant and stately appearance throughout the 18th century, and by the end of the century the cases would be larger and more monumental.

Its case is veneered in mahogany with a beautiful natural finish and is enriched with gilded bronze applications. The front has a simple architectural composition with a façade surmounted by a semicircular arch raised on a moulded base, which is in turn raised on four bronze legs. The whole has a sloping top with curved angles. The piece has an arched top handle, which makes it very functional, as it is easy to move it. The front of the clock is decorated with garlands and classical vegetal compositions and spandrels, and on the sides there is a glass plate that allows the interior of the mechanism to be seen. The dial features Roman numerals (for the hours) and Arabic numerals (for the minutes) engraved in black, with a gold centre and a calendar of the month. The second dial functions as an hour chime on a bell and has the option of silencing it.Bracket clocks of English origin are notable mainly for their mechanism, but also for their decoration.

Later, however, the base and clock began to be made separately.The English developed a watchmaking mechanics distinct from that of the rest of Europe, based on an industry of specialised workshops producing products of great technical perfection. The cases were made by cabinetmakers who enriched the watches, turning them into real jewels. For this reason, throughout the 18th century English clocks and watches were evidence of the stylistic evolution that developed in English cabinetmaking, starting with the William and Mary and Queen Anne models, passing through the Chippendale and Hepplewithe styles and finally returning to classicism with the Adam, the Sheraton and finally the Regency. As for the specific type of bracket clock, it maintained its elegant and stately appearance throughout the 18th century, and by the end of the century the cases would be larger and more monumental.

Bracket type table clock, late 17th-early 18th century.Box with wooden latticework and gilt brass ornaments.Highly engraved and gilt dial, with fleurs-de-lis between numerals.It has a two-tune selection dial, pendulum and month calendar.Eight-day winding machine, square plates, four trains, musical cylinder with two melodies, 26 hammers to operate the 13 bells (the bells are missing), quarter mechanisms on two bells and a chiming mechanism on one, escapement with a rope or pallets.Measurements: 67.5 x 38 x 25.5 cm.Table clock of the bracket type, dated around 1700, with a cabinet case, with finely carved vegetal latticework in wood, decorating the upper frieze and the spandrels. Four columns, with cylindrical shafts and Doric order, flank an architectural structure with a semicircular arched window. The sides and back also have arched windows, which leave the pendoline visible. The whole has a sloping top with curved angles, which rests on a moulded entablature, following the same pattern as the base. The gilt dial is beautifully engraved with Roman numerals alternating with small fleurs-de-lis adorning the circle. The minutes are indicated in Arabic numerals. Delicate foliate compositions in gilt brass cover the spandrels. A second dial, with chime functions, has a choice of two melodies and a calendar. Fruit pinnacles decorate the corners.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.

English bracket clocks originated in the 1960s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock to replace the previous "foliot" or balance regulator. 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. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, English clocks were evidence of the stylistic evolution that developed in English cabinetmaking, starting with the William and Mary and Queen Anne models, passing through the Chippendale and Hepplewithe styles and finally returning to classicism with the Adam, the Sheraton and finally the Regency.
