A swan neck design, six inch ball spike finial tops the case. Dimensions: 99” Tall, 25” width, 17” depth. Although the clock is large the proportion and classical design make this a magnificent piece in the correct setting.

It also strikes every hour on an extra large and deep toned tube. Provision has been made for silencing the chime and strike, by means of small levers through the dial to the left of # 9 and the right of # 3. This clock has a month movement.
