Description

Clockwise is delighted to present for your consideration a fine Victorian English eight day fusee timepiece.

Finished in a lovely mahogany with decorative brass inlay around the viewing window and foliate ears flanking the sides the case has a lovely rich sheen and is of a standard pegged design. The original cast bezel locks firmly and frames the lovingly restored twelve inch dial within the turned surround perfectly. The maker's name is present - Earl of Bristol were makers and retailers in the nineteenth century and worked at Christmas Steps and Lower Park Hill and later in the shopping centre. Original moon hands compliment the overall appearance. The lower door retains its original working lock and there is also a side inspection door to the case.
