Carlton Clocks

Description

A very handsome 1830s drop dial wall clock with a curved base, the case veneered in highly figured rosewood.

The 12-inch convex iron dial has an octagonal surround, with a heavy cast brass bezel fitted with convex glass.

It is signed for A.G. Benton, 122 High Road, Putney.

The eight-day twin fusee movement has shaped plates and knopped pillars. It is fully overhauled and guaranteed for 3 years.

A very well-fitting locking base door gives access to the pendulum. The side access door retains a previous repair sticker from Camerer Cuss, the repairs dating from both 1955 and 1964.

The mix of other clocks for sale is limited only by what Ian finds interesting and/or beautiful, aesthetically or mechanically.
