These capitols being of wood instead of brass answer for the use of the wooden finials on the hood that match. A flame mahogany longcase having much well executed inlay to all parts. The movement is typical brass structure and strikes the hours on a cast bell. The dial shows castles in Wales and the white center is convex, which is very common to this location.
