English octagon drop, ca. 1880?  A 28.5-inch English-style drop octagon veneered in burled mahogany with cross-banding and carvings below the dial.  The finish is clean, there is an 11-inch painted metal dial in good condition behind a convex glass, with fancy hands.  The 8-day, time-only, fusee movement is running.  The fusee cord has been replaced. There is a door at the bottom to access the pendulum, and doors on both sides of the movement.  No label and the movement is unsigned, as is typical.  $300-$500.
