George III Mahogany Bracket Clock with Brass Inlay

Story

In 1782, as the American Revolutionary War was drawing to a close, an English household would have viewed a clock like this as the ultimate symbol of order and enlightenment.

Maker / Origin

While the dial does not clearly display a signature in these photos, the quality of the brass stringing and the lion-mask handles suggests a high-end London or provincial workshop.

Condition & Value

The mahogany case shows significant vertical stress cracks on the front panel, likely due to changes in humidity over centuries. The painted dial exhibits heavy crazing and some paint loss near the numerals. The brass inlay appears largely intact but shows some lifting.
