English giant carriage clock by Edward Funnell - Details:
This
very substantial giant English carriage clock by Edward
Funnell of Brighton, England, has a three-train fusee
movement quarter-striking Westminster chimes on four
gongs. The brass-framed beveled glass front door opens
to a white porcelain dial with blued-steel hands,
framed by a gilt-brass engine-turned mask.
The
glazed side panels reveal the heavy brass plates that
support the interesting and complicated movement.
The glazed rear door opens to the four gong striking
mechanism and the back plate is signed “Edw.
Funnell, BRIGHTON” . The lever escapement platform
can be seen through a glazed panel in the top next
to the repeat button. After
a full restoration, this clock runs well and chimes
progressively at each quarter on four gongs.
Circa
1880
Dimensions:
12” to top of handle, 7.5” wide at base,
