See Michael Pearson, KENT Clocks & Clockmakers, Mayfield 1997, p. 146.
Condition Report:
1 winding key. 1 pendulum
The timepiece is in good overall condition. The dial decoration has been restored. The hands are a recent replacement. The movement appears to be clean and was functioning prior to consignment. The weight appears to be a modern replacement, although of the right type. The lacquer decoration appears ‘dry’ in places and some of the gilded decoration is lost. A charming item.
