One of the more intriguing clocks to come in the market this spring was this early 18th century bracket clock signed to the backplate Cha [rles] Goode, London offered at Duke’s (22% buyer’s premium) on April 12.
The 18in (46cm) case is in olivewood, or possibly another exotic timber, with a two-train fusee movement striking on two bells.
Charles Goode was made Free of the Clockmakers Company in 1686 with workshops in the Strand employing a number of apprentices.
