English (?) shelf/bracket clock, ca. 1880?  I’ve got very little to go on with this lovely clock. The mahogany-veneered case is 21.5 inches tall with the brass top finial.  There is a blond wood inlay on the front with draperies across the top; the veneer is cracked at the center top.  The dial glass is convex and old; the dial silvered with little discoloration. There are four brass feet.  The movement is unsigned and does not appear to be fusee, but I did not pull it from the case. It strikes Westminster chimes on four cathedral gongs and the hour on a fifth gong.  There is repeater function as well. Running and striking with a rich deep sound.  $800-$1200.
