Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1880s.
~~ Excellent condition throughout ~~
It has the most wonderful figure of a fisherman holding a net to his shoulder, there are shells and seaweed and the quality of the casting is just incredible, the attention to detail absolutely superb.
It is made of cast white metal patinated and it is extremely heavy.
The clock itself is a fine piece of engineering with the Marti movement and the visible open Brocot escapement, Brocot fine adjustment suspension with a fine adjust key. There are enamel discs with painted Roman numerals and a gilt textured dial with a polished brass door.
It strikes on the hours and half hours.
This is one of the finest figural clocks we have ever seen and the condition is just amazing, this will certainly be a talking point.
The movement has just undergone a full overhaul, clean and service so you can be assured that this clock is in tip top condition and will give trouble free service for many years to come.
The clock comes with a key.
It is keeping accurate time to within 1 minute a week.
The clock comes with a full 12 month warranty.
Dimensions of clock: Height 21" Width is 17", Depth 9". We have taken a photograph of the clock standing next to a full size bottle of port to give you an idea of just large this clock is.
Delivery for this item to mainland England and Wales is free and includes full setting up instructions and information on how to look after your clock.
