Typical high-quality ‘A’ plate movement, featuring maintained power and dead-beat escapement. Ebonised wood-rod pendulum, with large brass bob and a single brass cased weight hanging on a finely spoked wheel.
Two-piece 6 ¼” enamel dial with high-quality cast ‘pie-crust’ bezel, brass centre ring and brass keyhole grommet. The finest blued steel hands, typical of this period.
The case features a nicely grained walnut backboard with box wood stringing, a walnut veneered arch and base, and ebonised mouldings to the trunk door. Carvings to the trunk door frame, the base of the clock and a carved top fret.
These clocks have a very quiet ‘tick’ and thus are certainly suitable for rooms where noise might be a concern.
