JOHNSON, LIVERPOOL. A REGENCY EBONISED DOUBLE FUSEE BRACKET CLOCK WITH INTERESTING PROVONANCE, the brass in laid case within fish scale sound frets and cast brass bezel, with inlaid inscription to the base "JOHN YOUNG EYAMBA 1836', the painted dial with Roman numerals fronting an eight day movement with anchor escapement striking the hours on a bell - Provenance. By descent directly from the Johnson family, clockmakers of Chester and Liverpool and makers of the clock, to the present vendor. By family repute, the clock was purchased by Eyamba V, Obong of the Old Calaba in 1836 when he visited Liverpool to purchase western furnishings for his home. It is said that the clock made its way onto the ship which was to return Eyamba to Africa, but when he pulled the repeat cord, it struck thirteen, which he considered to be a bad omen for his journey, and the clock was duly sent back to Johnson's workshop. Eyamba was a slave trader and was known as John or 'Johnny' Young by his Liverpool friends due to his trading connections to the city and the UK. (56cm high)
