Arnold & Frodsham Rosewood Giant Carriage Clock with Chronometer Escapement

This mid-19th-century giant carriage clock is attributed to Arnold & Frodsham, London, and features a rosewood-veneered case mounted on compressed gilt ball feet. Its molded top and fluted band are complemented by a heavy gilt carrying handle and beveled glass panels, including an aperture over the escapement. The gilt square dial is richly engraved with foliate scrolls and marked with Roman numerals, traversed by blued steel hands with open heart tips. According to the auction catalog, the two-train, five-pillar fusee movement features Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw's spring detent escapement, a free-sprung cut bimetallic balance, and a helical balance spring, striking and repeating on a blued steel gong.
