Overton Clocks of Chesterfield

Description

We are pleased to offer this stunningly original flame mahogany double fusee striking bracket clock.
The Egyptian influenced case is finished in the a wonderfully deep flame mahogany that is only seen in the finest of early 19th century clocks and is finished off with fine brass inlay scrolls, flower heads with ebony inserts and cross banding to the stepped top. I have very carefully removed all the many layers of dirt and soot to reveal the original shellac high polish finish. This has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Note: the small veneer loss on the back door will be professionally repaired after break.
The double fusee movement is totally handmade with its hand cut crossing to all the wheels. These crossings making the shape of a star. The overall quality of the movement is excellent and has been totally overhauled by me personally so that I can give a full three years guarantee to safeguard your investment.
The original convex dial has received the most careful of conservation based cleaning so that it compliments the rest of the clock.
I would date this clock to William IV ( c1830)
