EDITORS COMMENTS
This black lacquer bracket clock, featuring a movement by James Boyce from around 1705, is a true masterpiece of horology. The intricate detailing and exquisite craftsmanship showcased in this timepiece are truly remarkable. The clock's black lacquer finish adds an air of elegance and sophistication to its overall design. The technique of japanning, which involves applying layers of lacquer to create a glossy and durable surface, has been expertly executed here. The result is a beautifully decorated and ornate piece that would have undoubtedly graced the homes of the wealthy elite during the 18th century. Every aspect of this clock exudes opulence, from its decorative motifs to its ornamental features. Its delicate hands move gracefully across the dial, while the finely crafted movement ensures accurate timekeeping. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance of this English School creation. Preserved by Mallett & Son Antiques Ltd. , London, UK, it serves as a testament to both past artistic achievements and our enduring fascination with horology. As we admire this stunning work through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era where such objects were highly coveted status symbols. It reminds us that even today, amidst modern technology and digital clocks on every device imaginable, there is still something enchanting about these meticulously crafted pieces that stand as testaments to human ingenuity throughout history.
