404.   $300

English fusee mantel clock, ca. 1880?  A 21.5-inch-tall carved mahogany case, 20 inches wide with an 11-inch matte dial.  Newer glass in the brass bezel, old hands.  There is a large unsigned brass pendulum movement and two large fusee springs; it should run 8 days, striking a bell on the hours.  Running and striking, just a bit fussy.  Brighton is a seaside resort directly south of London.  $300-$500.
