C.1765, English, William Ericke, London, a nice mahogany cased 3-fusee, qtr chiming bracket clock in good restored condition. Britten's lists this maker working from 1718 to 1772, and the dial, anchor escape and case style put this toward the end of his production. The arched brass dial has a matt center, with calendar aperture above 6, silvered/engraved chapter ring, and the 6 spandrels (2 in arch) all in rococo style; the little dial in the arch for tune selection, choice of St. Mary's (Cambridge) or 8-bells. (this clock made well before the Westminster tune was conceived, so no choice of that tune). The substantial 3-fusee movement with engraving on the rear plate, and with the pendulum similarly engraved. After chiming at the hour, the strike train counts the hours on a large spiral gong. Height 23.5 inches
