A Scottish Gilt Bronze and Tortoise Shell Mounted Bracket Clock

Late 19th Century

the dial signed Brook & Son/ Edinburgh, the movement with a F. Martin/ Médaille d'Or Paris seal.
Height 9 3/4 x width 5 1/2 x depth 4 1/2 inches.

Property from a Private Collection, Chicago, Illinois

Overall good and stable condition. Slight oxidation to gilt bronze cornice and bronze side panels. Minor chips to tortoise shell veneer on backside of clock. Very minuscule losses to the enamel dial, concealed when the domed case is closed. With winding key and pendulum. Both cylinders take a wind. The pendulum swings causing action within the movement. There is likely an issue with the pendulum as it stops shortly after starting. As a result, we are unable to verify the accuracy of the movement.
