Table Clock with Alarm and Hour-Striking Mechanism, on display in the Sir Harry and Lady Djanogly Gallery Room 38 of the British Museum, made in the Netherlands between 1526 and 1575.
This early spring-driven table clock combines multiple functions: it features a verge escapement, an hour-striking mechanism operated by two automaton figures (“jacks”), and was originally equipped with an alarm. Housed in a gilded and engraved metal slip case adorned with arabesque ornamentation, the clock exemplifies the transitional period before the widespread adoption of pendulums. A female figure atop the bellstand, likely a later addition, resembles angels found on the Habrecht carillon clock. Such objects were luxury timekeepers for elite households in early modern Europe, often displayed prominently on tables or cabinets. Donated by Gilbert and Eileen Edgar in 1967, it had previously belonged to F. H. Knowles-Brown.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the world’s first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museum’s encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.
