It is a top quality clock with maintaining power (it keeps the power on when the clock is wound).&nbsp; The dial would originally have been silvered all over. The hands look to be later replacements. There are several Francis Perigals listed. Yours is probably Francis the third apprenticed in 1778 and died 1843. Congratulations you have a very fine clock. Treasure it. As to value; clocks are well down at present but certainly well into four figures.”</p><p><br /></p><p>I did wonder about the brass dial.&nbsp; I bet several someones lovingly polished it over and over! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
