A lovely antique iron English clock dial circa 1840 in its original enamel, charmingly decorated and English country garden flowers. With ancient craquelure, marks of a long life and its original hand cut Iron hands, all as found by our buyer on a local country house.
Originally a large weight driven 30hr movement, this was mostly missing. Our clockmaker has skillfully fitted a quartz battery movement for ease and reliability while retaining the beautiful original iron hands and brass retaining washer. We have carefully cleaned and clear coated the dial to lock in the ancient patina. A hanging loop is provided to the reverse. Please note that the calendar dial is not driven by the movement.
A unique timepiece for anywhere in your home. Measures: 12″ x 12″ x 2″.
