The listing, UNIQUE!! Rapport of London Clock in a Box has ended.
I bought this clock in London, England at a High End Jewelry Store!
It is made by a clock company called *Rapport of London* which makes the BEST!!
I have never seen another like it, It is a one of a kind, having hand laid wood design in the Rosewood Box!
The Clock is Quartz, Runs with one AA Battery and is in a solid brass casing. There is a small suction cup included that lifts off the glass to replace the battery, very easy to do.
The clock casing is Solid Brass, the Knobs and latch and feet are all Solid Brass.....This is a GORGEOUS PIECE!!
I paid about 70 British Pounds for it then, it was on sale which is about 140.00 in American Money at the time!
The closes thing I have ever seen to it and it was only a box, no inlay was a Howard Miller which was on sale for 198.00.....
I think it would be a BEAUTIFUL FATHER'S DAY Gift, for an office, a bookcase, or a mantel, or a bedside table!
It is very gently used, being kept in a glass cabinet...with no signs of wear at all, looks like BRAND NEW!!
It does work perfectly!
It is just something that brings back some hard memories and I want to give it to someone to really enjoy!!
This clock is a conversation piece, people love it when showed how it works and the beauty of it!!
Any questions, ask me....You can google the clock company and see the quality of pieces they make, mostly pocket watches and Grandfather Clocks.
The workmanship is unbelievable!! The inlay design is not machine done, it is hand done!!
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!!
Shipping due to value of this piece and insurance is 9.00.
