G. Searle, London – Circa 1840

£3,500.00

A good quality rosewood library timepiece by G. Searle of London, dating to around 1840. The elegant steeple-top case is surmounted by a raised moulded pediment and crowned with a finely carved stylised Fleur-de-Lys finial. The case stands on four turned bun feet and retains a pleasing rich colour and patina.

The 4-inch silvered dial is particularly attractive, featuring delicate floral scroll engraving surrounding the maker’s signature cartouche, all enclosed within a gadroon-shaped silvered mask. The finely proportioned single-fusee timepiece movement is of excellent quality, united by four well-executed baluster pillars. The movement is further enhanced by a shaped backcock, supports a brass bob pendulum, and is fitted with its original transit lock.

A well-balanced and decorative library clock of desirable small proportions, combining refined casework with a high-quality London movement.
