A rare and interesting late 18th century continental striking and hour repeating table clock of miniature size

The 3-inch repoussé arched brass dial with applied brass Roman and Arabic chapter ring with blued steel hands. The spring-driven movement accessed by lifting the winding key to release the back door, the large square plates filling the case and secured by a pair of brass blocks, united by four turned pillars, with pivoted verge escapement to a short bob pendulum, powered by a pair of spring barrels.
