A Congreve style gilt-brass rolling ball timepiece with glazed case

The single chain fusee movement with wheels of six crossings held in a substantial architectural frame united by five knopped pillars, with 3.75 inch silvered Roman chapter ring, set with five ball-and-spire finials above an open frame mounted on tapering Doric columns on ball feet, the base with a centrally hinged tilting table mounted with a running track to carry the steel ball on its journey, re-setting itself at each end on release of the vertical impulse bar.
Together with a mahogany framed glazed display case mounted on gilt and lacquered brass adjustable ball feet. The clock will run after careful setting up, together with a double ended winding key and a steel ball. 36cm (14ins) high (2)
