Mantel clock 6

Yes another clock from the Regency period. It has a similar style top to Mantel clock 5, so a Chamfer top clock of the early 1800s. It is made from more of the gorgeous fiddle back Jarrah. 

However, more in keeping with the original clocks of the period, it is decorated with inlaid brass strings and dots.  This was my first attempt at inlaying brass. The case also has together a traditional brass ball feet, a brass pineapple on the top, and Lions head handles.  It was a wedding anniversary present for friends and has their initials on the front.

The chamfer top can be removed to access the key. 

It houses another Hermle ting-tang movement.

Hence, the brass frets on the sides, backed with velvet to let out the sound of the bells.

Thanks for looking.  Hope you are keeping up!!
