Stock No:   14517

The 8 day duration, chain fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement.

Behind a 9 1/2" (visible) flat, painted iron dial with a cream coloured background and black inking. The outer divided minute track has triangular hour markings and it has Roman hour numerals. The centre has the retailer's signature of "Harrods Ltd. London S.W." in script. The hands are blued steel with the hour hand of spade style. Covered with a brass hinged bezel with flat glass and a silvered sight ring.

Contained in a beautifully French polished, light oak case of good colour and patina. The pegged back box has an access door to the right hand side and the curved bottom has a further locking, curved and cockbeaded door for pendulum regulating access.

Dimensions:                             12 1/2" diameter x 6" deep.

Circa:                                        1890.

Condition:                                  The well-maintained movement is bright, shows no signs of wear and is in
                                                  excellent working order. The dial has been restored by us because it had 
                                                  losses of paint and areas of poor patching however, for the purpose of 
                                                  authentication, I photographed it before restoration as evidence and the 
                                                  original base colour was perfectly colour-matched. The case is undamaged, 
                                                  unrestored and has excellent colour and patination. It has a superb polished 
                                                  finish. The lock works well and everything about this little clock sold by the
                                                  world's most famous retailer is - 'just so'!
