Bellamy Eagle

The Bellamy Eagle Clock is a stunning commemorative mechanical clock that honors the legacy of a legendary nautical woodcarver. When Chelsea Clock was founded in 1897, John Haley Bellamy of Kittery, Maine was well into his career as a nationally known folk artist. Known best for his precisely stylized wooden eagles, Bellamy's reputation has lived on long after his death, with some authenticated pieces having fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction.

Our limited-edition eagle clocks are commissioned and hand-carved by sculptor Vincent Harrild of West Newbury, Massachusetts in reverence to the recognizable Bellamy style. The carving is done from reclaimed native eastern white pine wood that is an estimated 150 years old. In addition to using Bellamy eagle carving techniques, Harrild gives each clock bold colorization through hand-applied pigments and 23-karat-gold leafing.

At the center of the carving is a just-as-carefully crafted Chelsea timepiece. The 4.5-inch mechanical movement has precision brass parts with a solid brass case, hand-silvered dial, hinged bezel, bold Roman numerals and a lacquered finish. Everything sits on a traditional mahogany base; we will add a solid brass engraving plate at no extra charge.

John Bellamy eagle clocks are made to order and only available through Chelsea Clock. The piece is signed by Harrild and comes with a certificate of authenticity. As for the clock, it has a five-year warranty and is made to last a lifetime. Call us at (866) 899-2805 to learn more about ordering a Bellamy clock eagle for yourself or as a statement gift.
