This is an exceptional chamfer-top table clock in superb condition.
The five knopped pillar, eight day duration, double gut fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement, rack striking the hours on a top-mounted bell, shouldered plates and the backplate having floral edge engraving which is perfectly followed on across the backcock and fixing brackets. Also having an engraved pendulum bob and repeat pull facility for the strike.
Behind an eight inch diameter, bowed painted iron dial with black Roman numerals, minute ring and matching ''open moon'' blued steel hands. Behind a cast brass locking bezel with bowed glass.
Contained in a figured mahogany case of good colour, patina and proportions. The gadrooned chamfer top bears a cast brass pineapple finial upon a thin platform, the case front having four recessed triangular panels that are inlaid with brass with quadrant brass and ebony strung framing and positioned around the dial. Also, brass lined canted front edges and an inla
...id frieze above the lower gadrooned moulding. The sides having ringed carrying handles with floral paterae above gold-silk backed, rectangular brass, fish-scale sound frets. The plinth being lined with brass to the front and all supported upon four ''Ball-and-Plate'' adjustable feet. The strike repeating cord runs out through the right side and has a turned brass pull.
This is a good example of a classic Regency table clock. Its appearance is stunning and it is working very well. The price is for the clock in its present superb condition. The case and dial are restored and the quality of the case is well above average. The movement is in good working order but has not been overhauled. If this is required, then it will be subject to a further charge that can be advised upon application.
