Description
is a very fine example in walnut. The case may have been refinished a long time ago. The 12 inch porcelain dial is perfect with original hands. Clock retains original pendulum and weight. The movement is dead beat escapement with maintaining power; see Ly's book on Gilbert, page 171 for full details of the unique Gilbert movement. Heavy lyre pendulum unhooks easily for transport. Nice burlwood panel on inside case back and base. Height 91 inches
