The Ebonised case with gilt side frets and surrounds is in most wonderful condition having had a previous restoration to very high standard.
The five knopped pillar movement with double fusee verge (crownwheel) escapement features a silent quarter pull repeat on two bells, silence mechanism and rise/fall regulation. The highly engraved backplate has a most usual engraving featuring ho-ho birds, and mans face, a heart with two arrows through and two grotesques to the lower corner.
