C.1830, English, Richard Reeves, Shoreditch, 2-fusee bracket clock, No. 202, in good original condition. This is an attractive clock with lively kingwood veneer and ebonized accents. The 7" silvered dial has an engine turned center with a very fine and sharp pattern. The backplate of the movement with border engraving and with Reeves signature and town in an oval. The case itself has some cracks from dryness that are apparent on close inspection; these are commensurate with the age of the piece. The only odd item that a purist might address first is the pendulum rod, which broke above the bob in a previous shipment and was soldered together. Otherwise sound and original. Height 16 1/4"
