A rare and interesting late 18th century continental striking and hour repeating table clock of miniature size
The inverted bell top surmounted by a brass carrying handle and four turned finials over a moulded cornice, glazed panels to the sides and a moulded base to a shaped apron. The 3-inch repoussé arched brass dial with applied brass Roman and Arabic chapter ring with blued steel hands. The spring-driven movement accessed by lifting the winding key to release the back door, the large square plates filling the case and secured by a pair of brass blocks, united by four turned pillars, with pivoted verge escapement to a short bob pendulum, powered by a pair of spring barrels. The clock runs, strikes and repeats the hours on an inverted bell mounted below.
