Stunning Victorian Gothic Striking Mantel Clock Garniture Set
Stunning Victorian Gothic Striking Mantel Clock Garniture Set. This imposing clock with its matching candelabras is a fabulous late Victorian timepiece of very high quality. It comes with its original mercury filled pendulum, known as a compensating pendulum, which makes allowances for differing temperatures and continues to provide excellent time keeping performance throughout. It also has an exposed escapement visible in its fine and unmarked dial, and a charming bell strike that rings once every half hour and the number of hours every hour. It underwent a full and professional restoration in 2001 in the renowned workshops of M C Taylor, Clockmakers of Bournemouth, and has obviously been cherished throughout its lifetime due to its exceptional condition. To find an example like this, complete with its accompanying candelabras is very difficult, making it all the more special. Please study all of the pictures in detail, as these form a useful guide to the wonderful condition of this great clock. Please see my other clock listings.
