Description of the item
An English made Late Victorian / early Edwardian boardroom that sounds each hour on a heavy gong. Very slow, impressive sounding. In very good working order with clean appearance (not fully restored but tidy - see condition report).
High quality throughout, especially the very heavy 5 pillar English movement
Boardroom clock is the term used to describe very large and / or imposing table clocks. They may have been used domestically, but need a bit of space.

| Condition Report
The clock has come in a part exchange and is in 'as arrived' condition. Running well, the movement looks to have been recently cleaned. The oak case has a few knocks and rubs and has been refinished at some stage. It is clean and tidy, fine for most uses. The finish could be improved at further cost. The bezel lock is present but is damaged inside. The bezel stays closed as required. |
