| Description: |
This Edwardian styled giant English carriage clock, with fluting to the front corners, feet, and handle, has an eight-day, twin fusee, repeating and striking movement by Nicole Nielsen, incased in gilt brass with beveled glazed side panels. The recessed white enameled dial with Roman numerals, fleur de lys hands, and signed Dent, 33 Cockspur St, London, 32571, is surrounded by an attractively engraved gilt mask. Opening the brass back panel with closeable apertures for the winding arbors, hands adjustment, and strike/silent reveals the hammer striking on a gong, the high quality lever escapement, and a back plate signed same as on the dial. A recent cleaning and service has this clock in excellent working order. Cosmetically it is in pristine condition and is accompanied with a signed and numbered leather carrying case.
Circa 1875
