Description
of small size, in a gilt Cannelee style case, retaining most of the original gilt, 5 good beveled glasses with excellent white porcelain dial signed "J.W. BENSON", a famous West London retailer. The well executed time only movement has a lever platform escapement with a cut and compensated balance. The minute hand shaft has been repaired with a brass sleeve; although adequate, this repair should probably be re-done if you intend to rely on the clock for regular use. Still, a very attractive, high quality, small clock in good condition. Height 3 inches (to top of handle)
