Bracket Clock, c1790
Eardley Norton
London, England
Eardley Norton (1728-1792) worked in Clerkenwall, London between 1760 and 1792. He became a freeman of the Clockmaker Company in 1770. Examples of his work are in the collections of the Queen of England and the British Admiralty.
The outstanding example exhibited here has a brass, fusee, eight-day movement with half-hour strike. The clock has a crown wheel and verge escapement. The strike may be repeated on demand by pulling a string at the side of the clock.
