Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The unsigned silvered dial has roman numerals and retains its original blued-steel 'spade' hands. The 8-day movement strikes just once on each hour, known as a 'Passing Strike', ideal if someone in your household doesn't like excessive chiming. It also means it does not need its own winding post/train, one weekly wind takes care of both the 'going' and 'strike' actions.
Date: c.1840-1860
Dimensions: Height: 15.5 inches (39.5cm) Width: 11 inches (28cm) Depth: 7.5 inches (19cm)
