An interesting gallery clock with oak case in original finish having a square top case with hand cut dovetailed joints across the top complete with old scribe marks, a small side door and a lower key locking door on the rounded bottom. The circular gallery picture frame front has two rails that fit on either side of the square back case and are joined by oak thumb pegs. The heavy brass movement is fusee chain driven, the original dial is hand painted on metal and has a central full hand painted and artist-signed (well done) scene of a Galleon sailing ship. Condition is excellent and apparently untouched unless the round oak dial frame has been cleaned. Overall size is 15 inches in diameter.
