Stock No:   14549

The 8 day duration, good quality, typical circular timepiece Elliott movement with their signature jewelled, lever, platform escapement.

Behind an 11 1/4" visible, flat painted dial with outer divided minute ring, Roman hour numerals and the retailer's name "FATTORINI, BRADFORD" applied over the upper regulation aperture. Also, "AN Elliott CLOCK" and "MADE IN ENGLAND" above and below the hour numeral VI. The black finished 'spade' hands are also typical of Elliott. The dial is protected with a glazed, hinged and ball catch copper bezel with a black finished sight ring.

Contained in a circular and slender oak case of excellent colour and having well laid premium grain veneer.

* F.W. Elliot were retailed by almost all of the finest jewellers in the UK including Garrards. Their clocks were of a very high standard and they would guarantee to be able to supply parts for at least 25 years. Thomas Fattorini started his business in 1827 and it continues to this day and is a major company.

** What is on offer here is not just a simple old wall clock but a rare style that is attractive, unbelievably original and in practically mint condition. I cannot stress these points too much.

Dimensions:                        14" diameter x 3 1/2" deep.

Circa:                                   20th century - post circa 1930.

Condition:                            The movement is fully working with an excellent action to the escapement but
                                            has been neglected in recent years or simply not run. I would recommend an 
                                            overhaul at some point. The dial, hands, bezel and case are about as mint as 
                                            you can get them on a clock of this age - they are superb.

Price:                                   £950 in its present and working condition. A price for any required work to the 
                                            movement can be supplied upon request.
