Brockbank and Atkins London c.1840 

A most unusual high quality ‘drum’wall timepiece, the 10” diameter engraved silvered brass dial signed ‘Brockbank and Atkins, London, 2333’, the fusee movement with lever platform escapement with a ‘set going’ button on the dial. The rosewood case with oak leaf decoration around the dial, has no access doors, and is of robust construction, leading to the conclusion that it was made for naval use, perhaps in the state rooms of a ship.
