Discover an exquisite piece of horological history with this late 19th-century 8-day twin fusee mantle clock by John Moore & Sons of Clerkenwell, London. Housed in a stunning rosewood circular drum case, the clock stands elegantly on an ogee scroll support and broad plinth. The rear door features silk-backed fretwork, adding a touch of sophistication to this timepiece.
The 8" silvered dial is encased in a glazed cast brass bezel, displaying Roman numerals, a minute track, and steel hands.

The clock utilises a chain-driven fusee movement, with the striking of hours marked by a resounding chime from a coiled gong.
