Description

A most attractive rosewood dial clock dating from around 1840. The dial is signed for William Bullock of Bath, he is listed as working there from 1791 to 1846.

The case is in nicely figured rosewood and it is profusely inlaid with mother of pearl. It has a cast brass bezel and sight ring.

The good quality twin fusee movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a particularly attractive hands in fleur de lease pattern.
