Charles Goode, London
Surmounted by a bold 'Quare-style' double-S scroll handle on a caddy top over an intricately moulded cornice and two long glazed side panels to a moulded base and block feet, the front door with highly unusual ogee bolection-moulded frame. The rectangular dial measuring 7.75 ins x 7ins signed upper centre Charles Goode, LONDON over a strike/not strike lever framed by foliate and strapwork spandrels to the corners, the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with half-quarter marks and meeting-arrowhead half hour markers, the finely matted centre displaying the decorated mock pendulum aperture, conforming date aperture and ringed winding squares, with finely pierced original hands. The twin gut fusee movement (now wire) now converted to anchor escapement with internal rack strike on the bell, the plates united by five knopped and ringed pillars (the centre latched), the backplate boldly engraved with interlaced foliate scrolls centred by the repeat signature within a shaped foliate cartouche below a winged cherubs head. 43cms (17ins) high
