Item Details
Description
A good and rare mid 19th century English repeating gilt and bronzed travel clock with maintaining power and numbered key.
Dent, London number 732
The case surmounted by a bevelled glass panel within an ogee-moulded stepped frame with gilt highlights over glazed sides, the canted front corners with S-scroll uprights on a moulded gilt base with squat feet, and hour-repeat button to the side. The signed 2.75 inch enamel Roman dial with minute track and typical lozenge/triangular hour markers framed by a pierced and engraved floral mask on a mirrored ground, with blued steel moon hands. The substantial twin chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power to the going train terminating in a large gilt platform with cut and compensated bimetallic balance to an underslung English lever escapement, the hourly strike acting on a circular-section blued steel coiled gong, (strike/silent lever mounted in the upper left hand corner of the signed and numbered backplate). Running, repeating and striking. Together with a case key and the original heart-shaped numbered winding key. 19.5cms (7.75ins) high.
