17th Century (c.1680) English lantern clock. A well engraved dial and surmounted by an original cast bell. A very well engraved dial centre. Side opening doors and standing on turned feet. A later, Victorian W&H mechanism has been adapted to the clock (originally it would have been a weight driven mechanism). The pictures show the original plate top. This strikes the hours and 1/2 hours on the bell and is of 8-day duration.
One of the side doors is engraved ' Restored & Refitted by Charles Shapland 207 High Holborn W.C' (London).
It is a pity that it does not retain the original mechanism but this is still a chance to obtain a 17th century clock in a very original case at an affordable price.
