References to the classical Greek order of Ionian architecture

The quality of this clock can be seen in the use of the well figured cuban mahogany veneer particularly on the front panels and columns.
References to the classical Greek order of Ionian architecture give the proportions of the case great beauty and elegance.
The 7 1/2" brass silvered dial gives a distinctive contrast to the finely engraved and black wax filled signature and numerals. The quality of the dial is also enhanced by heart shaped blue steel hands which were used by some of the the finest bracket clock makers of the period such as Vulliamy, Dutton and Payne.
The two train fusee bracket clock movement is also fitted with a strike repeat facility.
The stepped flame mahogany veneered bracket upon which the clock stands reinforces the classical gravity of this fine clock.
