Late Victorian Large Size Capstan Clock

19th century
Description

Made in France in the 1880s this is an impressive, large scale, automaton or novelty clock and dispays a nautical theme. The top half rotates on the fixed lower base and features four different faces, 2 clocks with Roman numerals are interspersed by a Thermometer and a Barometer. On the top of the piece covered by a white metal awning is a compass mounted in a gimbal that remains fixed pointing north as the top section rotates.

The lower section in the shape of a capstan features gilded rope coiled round the drum, an anchor, a stanchion with a pulley block and a lifebelt.

In untouched original condition, the clock has recently been serviced and the mainspring has been replaced. It could be restored to pristine condition if the new owner wishes but it is priced here "as is".

Size:

Height - 20" (51cms)

Base Diameter - 8.5" (22cms)

Dial face diameter - 2.75" (7cms)
