Small Library Clock , Gibbs of London Circa 1850.

19th century
Description

Shown here unrestored is a fine and quite small, twin fusee mantel clock. Sometimes these are described as library clocks or 'five glass' mantel clocks. This good example strikes on a large coiled gong behind the pendulum. The tone of this clock is wonderful and much deeper than you would expect from such a small clock.

William Gibbs of London is recorded working circa 1860 and this clock would date to around that period, possibly a little earlier at 1850.

(The second picture gives a good size comparison) These clocks are extremely difficult to find now and this size with twin fusee and in an unusual wood, which we think is Birch, possibly satin Birch makes this a highly sought after clock.
