Its About Time has dated this piece to the 1850s.
To the top of the clock there is a small wooden knob which is used to slide the glass panel upwards and out of the way for winding and adjusting, and there is also a small glass aperature to the top panel for viewing the movement. The rear panel is removed with a similarly styled knob, and is lined with green baize to keep dust out. It also has a small fabric-covered cutout, to allow for clearer travel of the bell sound, which strikes on the hour and half hour. Mid 19th century. Sold with 24 month guarantee.
