JOHN LEROUX, CHARING CROSS. A GEORGE III ORMOLU MOUNTED EBONISED DOUBLE FUSEE BRACKET CLOCK
JOHN LEROUX, CHARING CROSS. A GEORGE III ORMOLU MOUNTED EBONISED DOUBLE FUSEE BRACKET CLOCK balloon-shaped ebonised case with gilt bronze mounts including acorn finial and sunburst mask mount, side handles and bracket feet enclosing a 7" white enamel dial signed Leroux, Charing Cross with Roman numerals and blued steel hands fronting an eight-day double fusee movement with anchor escapement striking on a bell.
49cm high
£1,500 - £2,500
Buyer's premium: 30.00%
The case is in good condition; it has minor hairline splits in the veneer on the sides, no cracks or chips to the dial, and the movement is missing the pendulum clamp off the backplate, which holds the pendulum in place during transport. The clock is in good working order and striking the correct hours; it may require a service. Looks to have been restored some years ago.
