The walnut veneered bell top case stands 18 inches high excluding the brass handle.  The style and proportions are typical of the period.

 

The movement has a finely engraved backplate and is of eight day duration with verge escapement and rack striking, sounding the hours on a bell and pull quarter repeat on six bells.

 

The time is displayed via the blued steel hands to the engraved brass dial with rasied silvered chapter ring.  A subsidiary dial to the arch is to adjust the rise and fall of the pendulum and a date aperture completes the centre.  There is a strike/not strike button to one side and a recessed signature boss below the dial.
