C.1984, Chinese, 2-Fusee bracket clock and carved stand. This is a well made clock and running and striking robustly, uses the English crown/verge escapement with the addition of center seconds. This clock was amongst the earlier reproductions made to order in China for an Ohio dealer, and the chemically rusted screws and washers give a look of age that it does not deserve. When you take the movement out you discover that the modern pinions have only the slightest polish from the wheels, and the verge shows virtually no wear at all. The carving on the case is much crisper than more recent versions, and the fit and finish are quite good. Height 19 inches
