Description of the item
Double fusee dial clocks (as oppose to drop dial) are very rare and therefore sought after. This is a lovely example with a one-piece mahogany surround of super colour, cast bezel with the original glass covering the attractively signed dial. It strikes on a bell (some are on gongs) which is generally more sought after.
The clock is fully restored and ready to enjoy. |
