Description of the item
This is an unrestored but totally original small circular dial wall clock signed C Chambers of Colchester. Mahogany frame with hinged back-box. Original single train 8-day going-barrel (non fusee) movement by Astral. It appears this clock stood most of its life in a cycle factory and comes complete with a letter to this effect. (Update; dial now professionally restored)

Information about the maker
Astral were well known English clockmakers. Chambers at Colchester would probably have been the retailer. (We have just found a record of G. Chambers and Sons of Colchester in an online directory of clockmakers & retailers). We estimate this clock was made approx 1910.

Dimensions & Specification
Dimensions: Overall diameter approx 13.5"; depth 5".

Condition Report
Very original but requiring restoration. Bezel and glass are original. The mahogany frame is in good unrestored condition. The pendulum is missing.
Painted 10" iron dial has been professionally restored since photographs were taken.

Cost of Restoration
On request. Movement needs a service. Case could be improved or left in current sleepy condition.
