A tribute to the Royal Navy, the clock's chime is that of a ship's bell and strikes upon the hour.

Painted pendulum, original weights, original winder, this clock is in spectacular shape. It possesses the original, delicate hand forged gilded hands.

There is a small indent to the side of the bonnet that blends into the wood and looks like it is part of it. There is also a small hole that is only seen when the bonnet is opened for winding.

Majestic and stately it is a commanding clock, and when it chimes with the crystal clear sound of a great ship's bell, it becomes a piece of history.
