The vases, pillars and dial are profusely decorated with English country garden flowers. Among the flowers are charming and delicately painted birds tending to their nests. A bullfinch is just about to land on the centre of the dial.
To the bottom of the case is a lovely inscription "Presented to Mr and Mrs R.R. Pearce on their golden wedding by their children 1894".
The French movement is by A. D. Mougin and is of the company's usual high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a gong. A video clicp is available on our website to watch the clock running.
