Automation Clock Signed Twaites & Reed

Sign In to see what this sold for

A automaton bracket clock signed on the back plate "Twaites & Reed, Clerkenwell, London". This possibly an authentic Twaites & Reed clock later converted to the Chinese taste, with winding through the engraved back plate, crownwheel escapement, quarter hour repeat (now missing) and a double fusee movement. Ebonized case with applied castings and having an automated China man atop who strikes the hours. 28" in height.

Unless otherwise stated the condition of the mechanisms of these clocks is good, but that does not mean they run or do not need repairs. There is no guarantee of either the mechanical performance of clocks nor the completeness and originality of their parts and components. In most cases we have not removed the dials from these clocks, and have not checked inside for manufacturer’s or maker’s names for attribution.
