James McCabe, Royal Exchange London, Bronze Carriage Clock

19th Century

The moulded bronze case surmounted by a hinged handle and inset with bevelled crystal panels, solid rear door with shuttered holes for winding, hand-set, regulation and strike/silent. The silvered dial is signed "Jas Mc Cabe / Royal Exchange / London". Accompanied by a numbered winding key.

Case height, 7 5/8 inches (including handle, 9 3/4 inches) x width 7 x depth 5 1/4 inches.

The clock is in untested condition but there there is a winding key numbered "M 750" that will accompany the clock. The clock emits a deep full chime when the repeat button is pressed. There is no traveling case to accompany the clock.
The solid bronze case is in very good condition consistent with age and use, as are the crystal panels. The dial is silvered and appears to be original.
Hindman does not have the proper tools to open the clock and we do not want to risk damaging the clock by trying to open it at this time, so we cannot provide additional images of the works/interior, but we have provided several close-up images taken through the crystal panels. Unfortunately, at this time we do not know if the works are signed.
Please see the images for additional information.
