Item Description / Dealer Expertise

A superb quality small ebonised bracket clock, standing only sixteen-inches high to the top of the finial, with a triple-fusee, eight-day duration movement chiming the quarters on eight bells and the hours on a gong. The five-inch arched dial has a finely matted centre, a raised chapter ring engraved with black Roman numerals, raised gilt brass spandrels engraved in the style of Thomas Cole, who supplied Howell & James with clocks, and a silvered plaque signed ‘Howell and James, London. To the Queen’. Within the arch are two subsidiary dials for ‘strike/silent’ & ‘Chime on Eight Bells/Westminster’. The small ebonised bell-top case has canted corners, a stepped base, a bell-top surmounted by a pineapple finial, with ormolu mounts and side frets of excellent quality.

Howell and James were founded in 1819 as silk mercers & retail jewellers, with the opening day of their annual ‘exhibition’ being a society outing of the period. They sold clocks of the highest quality, many supplied to them by the well-known maker Thomas Cole whose decorative pieces are quite distinctive. The company was at the forefront of both the Aesthetic and the Arts & Crafts movements with a number of well-known designers working for them including Thomas Harris. They exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park, as well as Paris in 1867.
