Table or bracket clock

Clockmaker: John Andrews British

Not on view

This type of clock movement has a short pendulum, enabling the clock to be small enough to sit on a shelf or a bracket. The clock has an engraved back plate that was fashionable in late seventeenth-century London. The engraving was done by a relatively small group of specialists who had varying degrees of skill. Their work is unsigned and for the most part remains anonymous. The signature here is that of the maker of the movement, the clockmaker John Andrews.
