Elegant 1963 Elliott of London 8-Day Caddy Top Bracket Clock
artist painted Chinoiserie lacquer over gesso on mahogany - richly gilded brass dial, handle, feet
Operating sales showrooms and service facilities in the Chicago suburbs during the 1970s, I was proud to offer a wide selection of prestigious Elliott clocks. Yes; that\'s The Clocksmith fifty years ago. Tempus Fugit.Throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries, J.J. Elliott and F.W. Elliott produced premier quality traditional clocks benchcrafted at the family owned Croydon facility. The firm was one of less than a handful of British clockmakers operating their own cabinet shop. Chinoiserie lacquered cases were the most costly of the shelf, mantel and floor clock range. Original retail price of the model 2822 in the early 1970s was around $500.
Elliott steadfastly refused to compromise quality. Not a single piece of plastic. Every element of the dial is secured with screws through the thick brass plate. Screws mounting the chapter ring are silvered. The 8-day spring-driven movement with thick brass plates and cut steel pinions incorporates a 7-jewel lever platform escapement produced in France exclusively for Elliott clocks. This 11.5\" high x 6.5\" wide x 3.2\" deep shelf or mantel clock displays handsomely. It is offered in fine operating order; professionally serviced in April of 2024. Kindly review descriptive information and study photographs for details. Note scattered loss of vulnerable raised lacquer decoration.NOTE: As a point of comparative reference, view the white lacquer ground Elliott bracket clock model 2822 offered by merchant Splurge Addict as item number 196112908085.CONSCIENTIOUSLY PACKED & SHIPPED WORLDWIDE
