Description
The simple cabinet is made of mahogany and oak, it is glazed all round; a brass band runs all the way round the front door, and a handle is fitted to the top (on the underside there is an old service sticker, also from Camerer Kuss & Co). The very solid movement, featuring a spindle escapement, steel cable and worm gear, has been fully overhauled and readjusted; it strikes the hour on the bell at the top. The very attractive dial (signed Camerer & Co Bloomsbury), featuring gilded floral spandrels and a silver-plated numeral ring and scale for the chime stop, is in good condition; the hand-sawn hands are blue-tempered. Dimensions: Height: 47 cm Width: 30.5 cm Depth: 19.5 cm The pendulum, key and a bell are included in the offer.
