The repainted dial is signed for Bryson of Edinburgh, a well-known maker of repute. John Bryson worked in Dalkeith, a suburb of Edinburgh from 1836 to 1882. This clock dates from his latter years. The substantial tapered-plate movement has thick plates and four large pillars, maintaining power, high count pinions and deadbeat escapement. The pendulum, which is suspended from a bracket mounted on the backboard, has a slender ebony rod and a long cylindrical brass bob. The single weight is shaped and constructed so that it falls unseen behind the left hand edge of the glazed front door, leaving only the elegant pendulum in view.
