English Drop Dial Rosewood Wall Clock
This elegant drop dial wall clock is a marvelous example of English clockmaking. Richly colored rosewood comprises the case with delicate carvings accentuating the shape. Iridescent mother of pearl inlays highlight the case in the form of deer, swans, and floral and foliate ornamentation. Roman numerals display the time on a painted iron dial which bears the maker’s name Nellson, Liverpool.
A fully restored eight day time-only movement powers this timepiece.
