The matching blued steel hands are shaped and behind a bowed glass set within a low profile, cast brass locking bezel.
Contained in a mixed wood arched-top case. The front having ebony edge stringing and a recessed panel with rosewood crossbanding. The mahogany sides have arched top sound apertures with cast brass, fishscale frets backed with cloth. The rear has a locking arched and glazed door and the all-round short plinth has a small concave top moulding and is strung and crossbanded to the top. The case sits upon four, cast brass, squashed bun feet.
