Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1870s.
The 8-day movement strikes hours and half-hours on a bell and is in perfect working order.
Of particular note is the large enamel dial (about 6ins diameter, and much larger than usual) which has blue Arabic and Roman numerals, together with the pretty pierced and gilded hands. Perfect condition throughout. Signed on dial and movement: G. Philippe of Palais Royal, PARIS. An impressive clock.
