There is then a moulding followed by the square body of the case which has turned brass columns to the front corners. There is then a silk backed fretwork panel to the back door. There is then some fine inlay to the front as well as a further moulding to the base. Finally the case is finished by four round brass feet.
The dial is then silvered and set out in black, engraved Roman numerals with a thin ring marking the minutes. The outside of the dial is then intricately engraved with scrolling patterns. The centre of the dial is then engraved with the makers name “WILSON & GILL 139 & 141, REGENT ST, LONDON”. Finally the dial is finished by two shaped, blued steel hands as well as a protective glass.
The movement is then both wound and accessed from the back. It is a striking example which strikes both the number of hours on the hour as well as once on the half past via a gong. The clock works perfect, ticks away, and comes complete with its winding key.
It measures approximately:
9.75” / 24.75cm Tall.
5.75” / 14.5cm Wide.
4.5” / 11.5cm Deep.
