Description
This cute little timepiece is made up of various parts. The 18th century case is very nice with some original hardware. The case side panels are original, while the pierced brass inserts in the front door and the handle appear to be of a later vintage. The fusee movement was fitted to a current period dial blank. The chapter ring and lunette were probably made when this marriage was being consummated. Despite all that, it does have a great appearance and would look fine on anyone's mantel and give very satisfactory service; running briskly. Height 14 inches
