It was listed by Its About Time. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Its About Time has dated this piece to the 1850s.
Striking the hours and half on a tuned bell and housed in a superb gilt, engraved case with a solid engraved rear door. Interestingly this clock bears no markings of the usual makers for the period but would say this looks very much like the early work of Moser or Henry Marc. Being a 'multi piece' case we can date this to around the 1840's. The gilding is the original. A very fine clock with a very fine escapement.
