Description:
A fine quality early 20th century bracket clock for Asprey, Bond St., London, the mahogany domed case surmounted by cone finials, with pierced panels to the sides, carved plinth and fluted bun feet. The face with Chime/Silent and Slow/Fast to the arch above a silver chapter ring framed by pierced cast gilt metal spandrels. The movement with triple chain fusee striking on two gongs, height 38 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Superb quality, rich dark mahogany case with high polish finish, Three small marks to the case: a 1.5 cm impact lineal dent to the arch top, a tiny ding on the left hand bottom corner by the foot and a tiny ding on the front right finial (all photographed). The clock weighs 15kg!. The lock has a key that activates the tongue but it doesn't appear to engage in the mouth. There's no key for the back door. Mechanism ran nicely as I was watching it and chimed/struck (Westminster on gongs) as hands move through the quarters.
