The clock strikes the quarters with a double "ting-tang", and the number of hours on the hour.
The arched brass dial has a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and inter-spaced fluer-de-lys with gilt spandrels and matted centre. There are rise-and-fall and STRIKE/SILENT subsidiary dials to the arch.
The arched, brass opening door has nice thick glass and a silvered site ring.
The mahogany case retains it's original French-polished finish and has a beautiful warm, rich patina.
It has a brass carrying handle to the top and fish-scale sound frets to the sides. It stands on 4 brass bracket feet.
A real gem of a clock.
