Stock No. 3140
Price £4,800

This clock is particularly small, with an overall height to the top of the finial of just 10 ½” (270mm). It strikes on a very decorative coiled gong, and the dial engraving is particularly fine.

John and William Mitchell were very fine and successful makers who are recorded  working in Buchanan Street, Glasgow, in c. 1835,  and Argyle Street, Glasgow from c. 1820 to 1860. They also had a branch in London from c. the 1850s.
