THOMAS GRIGNION LONDON- A GILT BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK IN THE ROCOCO TASTE LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY 3.5" white enamel dial, signed twin fusée movement 36cm high overall, base 24cm wide Provenance: Acquired from Sotheby's, Clocks, 10 May 1990, Lot 324 Condition Report: Movement appears to be early 19th century hence probably later than the case. We have not removed the movement form the case to investigate further. Mechanism is in clean working order; there are spare holes towards the top of the plates suggesting that the movement may well have originally had a verge escapement. The dial has some chipping around the winding holes and some hairline cracking at three o'clock. The hands appear to be replacements. The surround and bezel are of a more copper-gilt tone than the case itself so may be non-original to the case. The case has overall rubbing and oxidation to the gilding otherwise is in sound original condition. The frets appear complete and are of good quality with engraved detail.Clock has pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
