William Gibbs of London .

23 x 16 x 14cm

Shown here unrestored is a fine and quite small, twin fusee mantel clock. Sometimes these are described as library clocks or 'five glass' mantel clocks. This good example strikes on a large coiled gong behind the pendulum. The tone of this clock is wonderful and much deeper than you would expect from a small clock.
