This is a large mahogany timepiece with the royal insignia and "GR VI" below the crown. The original 18 inches dial is very nice with original hands. The bezel is heavy cast brass. The bezel glass has a crack in the upper right corner. The case contains a large and robust chain-drive fusee movement signed "Gillett, Bland and Co., Steam Clock Factory, Croydon, London". The movement also has a Harrison's ratchet and pawl maintaining power. It is very unusual to see a signed movement on these clocks. There is no pendulum, but new ones are easily obtainable. Height 32 inches
