Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.
It has a stunning 18ct gold plated slightly domed top case with a shaped fold down handle which is in mint condition having just undergone full restoration and replating. This is NOT a polished and lacquered brass case and being 18ct gold plated it will not tarnish or deteriorate, only a light dusting with a cloth is required.
It has a gilt mask, white enamel dial and gilt minute markers, the glass is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks.
The movement is of an exceptional high quality and has a platform escapement, it runs for a full 8 days and keeps excellent time. It strikes on the hours and half hours on a tuned coiled gong.
The movement is in excellent clean and running condition having just undergone a complete and comprehensive overhaul by Alan Williams who is a Fellow of the British Horological Institute so you can be assured that this clock will give trouble free service for many many years before requiring any further attention.
A beautiful high quality Victorian striking repeating carriage clock in wonderful condition which will give great pleasure for many years to come.
It does come with its original box, unfortunately it has deteriorated over the years.
This clock has obviously been highly prized and looked after over the last 120 years and is a credit to its previous owners, it is rare to find such a clock in this superb condition.
