Curved fretted panels backed with red velvet are inserted into the sides, with smaller ones to the front and rear. The design is beautifully bold and heavily modelled in ormolu (fine gilded brass), well chased and finished. The clock is modelled in the round and would display very well on a table.

It is complete with its original delicately fretted brass hands and convex glass.

It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell, click the video below to see and hear the movement! The finish of the ormolu is excellent, bright and clean.
