A Good Bracket Clock by George Frodsham
A very handsome and original clock in a mahogany break-arch case by this extremely good and collectable maker.
The eight day duration, five knopped pillared, double fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement, shouldered plates, rack and starwheel striking of the hours on a rear-mounted bell. Also having a pendulum transit locking block, pendulum micrometer regulation and the backplate is engraved with the maker's name “Frodsham, Gracechurch Street, LONDON”.
Behind an 8” diameter bowed metal dial painted with a cream background and black minute track, Roman hour numerals and above and below the centre signed “F. E. FRODSHAM. GRACECHURCH STREET”. Also having matching steel ‘open moon’ hands and a cast brass, locking bezel with snapped-in bowed glass.
In a fine mahogany case. The break-arch top having a cast brass ‘bow’ style, swinging handle. The top has a small Cavetto moulding to three sides and the case front has canted corners with scroll ends and strung with brass. The front below the dial is flame mahogany that also has brass inlay and stringing and sits over an ebonised, ribbed moulding over a short and proud plinth to all sides that is brass strung to the front. The case sides have tall, glazed apertures and the rear has a full-size locking and glazed arched door. The case sits upon four cast brass, ball-and-plate feet.
George Edward Frodsham lived from 1831 until 1901. He was a Clockmaker, watchmaker and chronometer maker. In 1864 he became involved in the family business at 31 Gracechurch Street. In 1882 the business became G. E. Frodsham & Company and finally between 1888 and 1901 it was a limited company. In 1889 they were clockmakers to the Queen, Prince of Wales, The Royal Observatory and The Lords of the Admiralty etc. The importance of this Horological family cannot be understated. Although this clock was made Circa 1830, it was most likely renamed during the time of George Edward therefore, made by his predecessor, John Frodsham who signed his backplates in this manner. John Frodsham worked at Gracechurch Street from 1825.
This is a fabulously original clock and had the rare feature of pull repeating from both sides which though removed, could easily be re-instated. The colour and patina is amazing and all in all, it's a great looking piece - one could argue 'aged to perfection'. It is excellent value for money.

Condition This is an exceptionally original clock. The movement is good but has not had attention for some time. It is in full working order excepting the missing pendulum transit knob and the pull levers and cord for both sides of the strike repeating.
The dial is slightly damaged but good for it's age and usage.
The case is excellent but the rear door has damage to the edges, both locks are working and though the inlay is tarnished it looks majestic and is almost intact except for the front canted edge where it has lifted.
If any work is required by the purchaser then a price and timescale for such can be advised upon enquiry.
