C.1900, English, J. W. Benson, London, 3-fusee, Westminster chime on large flat wire gongs, with the hours struck on a large cathedral gong, with a silvered brass dial with foliate engraving in the arch and spandrel areas, and with F/S adjust in the arch, plus original wall bracket. Condition: the robust movement ticks and chimes, however the oil has gone dark and will need service soon. The dial has lost some of its black wax and brass is showing through in a couple of places. Hands, pendulum, gongs, door locks and all case hardware are original on this. Oak case has been nicely rubbed out and waxed over old finish; cornice moldings have been re-glued and doweled in place. A heavy and well made clock . Carving on bracket front matches case. Ht of clock = 19.5", overall = 32"
