C.1880, English, 3-Fusee Bracket clock, 8-Bell and 5 gong,

C.1880, English, 3-Fusee Bracket clock, 8-Bell and 5 gong, in a traditional ebonized case with ormolu trim, cast frets and handles to the sides, caryatids at the corners and cast feet and finials. The robust movement plays choice of Whittington tune on 8 bells or Westminster on 4 gongs, and strikes the hours on a 5th cathedral gong. This clock has been in storage and the movement is in need of service; one of the 4 gong hammers is separated at the hub and needs attention. Top finials are re-casts, but look OK; no key for either door lock; couple of glue joints in case need attention. Still this is a good original clock that will respond to restoration. Height 27 inches
