Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1750s.
The eight-day movement retains its original verge escapement, striking hours on a bell, and repeating hours via the pull cord, at will. The dial is lovely with "Strike/Silent" in the arch; mock pendulum and date aperture above "VI", whilst the good pierced blued steel hands are also original.
It is signed on the dial, whilst the movement features a finely engraved backplate; engraved brackets and original pendulum with engraving to the bob. Quite small, just 18.5ins (47cms) high.
