Miniature English Inlaid Ebony Time and Strike Bracket Clock circa 1810.

James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London, 1256. The well-proportioned ebony veneered case has a peaked top, decorative brass inlay, brass bound glazed sides and back and brass feet. The extremely well-lettered white porcelain dial has Roman numerals for the hours, is signed and numbered by the maker, 'James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London, 1256' and has gold spade hands. The dial is framed by an elaborately fretted and engraved ormolu mask with a decorative ormolu surround mounted in the door. Movement: The eight-day time and strike double fusee movement has finely cut and finished wheel work, an anchor escapement, five turned posts, a pendulum with a screwed fast/slow adjustment, a steel suspension with a t-bridge, is engraved on the backplate, 'James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London' and strikes the hours on a bell when running or when activated by the pull repeat out the bottom.

James McCabe signed his clocks differently depending on the quality. Clocks and watches signed 'James McCabe' were considered first quality. The gold hands and overall quality would seem to support this. James McCabe used this combination of name and address from 1802-1814.
