Description
An 18th Century brass Lantern Clock,
The strapped bell over pierced and engraved frets (the front centred by an armorial shield engraved with the initials PPE) over four tapering pillars with turned finials and ball feet, the sides with hinged doors. The dial with silvered Roman chapter ring with inner quarter hour track and stylised wheatear half hour markers, engraved with a rampant lion holding a staff below XII, with single blued steel hand. The weight driven movement originally with balance wheel control, but now converted to anchor escapement, the striking via an outside countwheel on the bell above.

Footnotes:
The PPE armorial shield probably references the original owners joint Christian and Surname.
