C.1920, English "Big Ben" Picture clock,
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
a 30 hour movement, wound through the front of the painting, and with an auxiliary "musical chine" movement, which is a short cylinder musical movement that plays the parts of Westminster Chime. Condition: the rear cover has been changed from the whole box being hinged at the bottom, to just the rear cover being hinged at the side. The "musical" movement is complete and sound, but is hung up at the moment and not playing. Clock ticks and stops. Dial has been restored with a "porc-a-like" cover. The picture itself, with MOP inlay is one of the nicest we've had, and the frame is in great original condition. Height 27 inches
