N Wilson Antiques Clocks has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The top of the case is shaped leading to a lovely moulding around the top edge. This then leads to the body of the case which is square with the front corners having wonderful floral carving. The sides of the case then have thick bevelled glass panels as well as the front and back having glass panels so the movement can be fully viewed. There is then a lovely belled out section which sets it off beautifully and is in the typical library clock style although on this example this area is carved. Finally there is a further moulding leading to the base.
The dial is then silvered and set out in Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The silvered dial then features beautiful engravings to each corner. Finally the dial is finished by two lovely, shaped blued steel fingers.
The movement is then both wound and accessed from the back. It is ticking away and working as it should and comes complete with its regulating pendulum and winding key. It is a chain fusee example of the upmost quality and works perfectly!
It measures approximately:
10” / 25.5cm Tall.
6.75” / 17cm Wide.
5.25” / 13cm Deep.
