Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The ebonised case is typical of the the 18th/19th century transitional period, with its cast brass carrying handle to the single brass-edged "pad" top; good cast circular bezel incorporated into the door and excellent silk-backed fish scale frets to the sides and lower part of the front door.
Pendulum regulation is by means of an "Up-and-Down" dial to the back, and there is a "Strike/Silent" lever above the dial.
The dial itself is of convex enamel with Arabic numerals and it is signed both to this dial and engraved to the backplate. The blued steel hands are very fine and pretty. Just 14ins high, handle down.
Guaranteed for at least two years.
