DIAL
The 81⁄2 inch square fully latched dial is signed Joseph Knibb in Oxon fecit at the base interrupting the scored line border. The narrow silvered brass chapter ring is engraved with Roman hour chapters with fleur de lys half hour markers and an outer Arabic minute sector.
The lightly matted centre is finely engraved with a central rosette; the winding holes are shuttered and there is a calendar aperture above chapter VI. The blued steel hands are beautifully pierced and sculpted and the spandrels are exquisitely engraved with tulips and daisies amongst foliage.
