Richard Webster, Cornhill, London c1820

This picture shows the backplate of the clock. Note the fine decorative engraving to the perimeter of the plate and to the pendulum bob.

The 5-pillar movement has an anchor escapement and twin fusees. The clock is stamped on the frontplate Handley & Moore 4450.


Handley & Moore are well known as specialist suppliers of bracket clock movements in the early 19th century. The partnership commenced about 1798 and continued until 1824 when Handley died.


As with all English bracket clocks of this period the clock has a pendulum clamping screw for use in transit (see photo).
