Atkins Clock Co. “London”, 1859-1879.  Perhaps their most successful model, the London has a classic look that has remained popular.  It stands 17 inches tall in rosewood veneer, with a substantial base and two doors, often with a mirror in the middle as found here.  The veneer on this clock is excellent but the finish is dark, the case would brighten up if cleaned.  The dial glass is original but has lost the black backing behind the gold corner spandrels.  The mirror is old but perhaps not original.  The painted dial is in good condition and the hands are proper; the 8-day time-and-strike movement is unsigned, as is typical.  It is running and striking appropriately.  The interior green label is flaking and much of it is missing.  Londons typically sell between $150-$250.  $150-$200.
