Discover a remarkable piece of mid-19th century horology from the skilled hands of Samuel Elliot Atkins of Cornhill, London. This wall clock features a twin fusee 8-day movement encased in a rich mahogany wooden bezel.

The clock also boasts an alarm disc, strike/silent lever, minute track, maker's name, and steel spade hands. The five-pillar wire-driven fusee movement is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, with shaped shoulder plates and rack striking that chime the hours on a cast bell. Complete with a pendulum, this timepiece exudes elegance and sophistication.
