Antique ca 1862 Atkins "London" Rosewood Shelf Clock 8-Day Movement and Chime

Experience the timeless elegance of this very interesting mantel clock incorporates several bold architectural elements in the case design. This case is constructed in rosewood, and it retains an older finish. Rosewood exhibits a strong grain pattern. This is evident behind the current finish. The case features two access doors. The lower door features a veneered wooden panel. Open this door, and one can access the pendulum. Two turned and split columns are applied to the midsection of the case. The upper door is divided into two sections. They are both fitted with glass decorated with a fancy gold foil design. They appear original to this clock. Through the upper section, one can view the painted dial. It features a Roman numeral time ring. Behind the dial, one will find the large brass 8-day, spring-driven, time-and-strike movement. The clockmaker’s label can be found pasted onto the backboard. It is in very good condition.

This clock measures approximately 17 inches tall, 5 inches deep, and 12.5 inches wide.

This clock was made circa 1862. Overall the wood is in very good condition. The glass and wood looks original to the time period but I can't guarantee that. Screws match the period as well. The pendulum appears original to the time as well.

As seen in the pictures, the label retains most of the information and is useful to help validate the date of manufacture. Please see all the photos for what you're getting. The winding key is not original but works.

You adjust the pendulum timing from the screw bottom on the pendulum.

Shipping is free (service picked by us) and will come in a well padded box.

NOTE: The clock is in working condition over a period of a week for testing. Unless otherwise noted, the clock keeps time within a couple of minutes during testing. When the clock is boxed, it is in working order.

IMPORTANT: While each critical item is removed and packaged separately, shipping CAN AFFECT the movement/pendulum/suspension spring and leader. You will need to put the pieces back on to the movement to work correctly. You can look at YouTube videos for further knowledge or contact a local clock shop.

NOTE: The mechanical movement/pendulum require a LEVEL surface (side to side and front to back) to work properly. I don't accept returns for the customer's inability to adjust and manage the clock. Due to the age of the clock and movement inside, I can't offer a warranty. Any work to fix/maintain antique clocks will require a specialist.
