Catalog Description:

C.1890, English, 3-Fusee, Double Chime Bracket Clock in very good original condition. This is a real piece of machinery, chiming the quarters on your choice of 8-bells or 4 gongs and striking the hours on a 5th large gong. This clock was professionally cleaned about 10 years ago and is ticking and chiming, but would benefit from an oiling. Inside the case are two auction news articles showing "sister" clocks selling for around $4500 plus premium. The well made mahogany case retains original finish; there are a couple of dry splits in the front of the case. Case is accented with ormolu caryatids at the corners and with broad acanthus moldings around the waist, and with heavy cast sound frets and folding handles at the sides. The finials were removed and cleaned in solution and so look a bit brighter than the rest of the trim, all of which will clean up in solution (don't rub this ormolu). Impressive looking and sounding. Height 27 1/2"
