The Case
The case is in solid shiny brass fully engraved and stands 17cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm beveled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
On the bottom of the case, it is engraved C.J. Feildent February 16th, 1860.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition in white porcelain with Roman numerals, the dial is set in a stunning gilded engraved mask which sets this clock apart from others, the clock has very fine original black moon hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet bell to the rear and also has the repe
...ater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original platform escapement.
The movement has been fully been fully serviced and is running very strong.
The original box is with it.
