AITKEN MARKET H.", within tulip spandrels, the arch painted with a lion in a landscape, the movement (no false-plate) rack-striking on a bell, the break-arched case with gilt finials over turned columns, arched long trunk door between fluted quadrant columns, and plain base on apron, 82", (208cm) high.
