The doomed shaped case has a 4.5 cm enamelled dial with Roman numbers and black steel hands, 8-day spring driven movement with anchor escapement signed "French movement". the rear door is solid silver with further hallmarks and when opened reveals the fully serviced French movement within. The clock stands upon four silver bun feet elevating it off the ground and is also hallmarked to the base, William Comyns and Sons, London. Artists Biography: William Comyns were a London based silversmith (1858 -1930). The firm was founded by William Comyns who bought Robert Tagg in 1858. He entered his first mark from the original Robert Tagg premises in Soho, London. As the business expanded in 1885 they became William Comyns & Son when his two sons Charles and Richard joined the business. From the 1880s they produced large numbers of silver decorative items which were retailed through leading London retailers, such as Henry Lewis and Howell & James. William Comyns died in 1916, and his son Charles died in 1925 whilst at a sale at Christie’s. They registered as a limited company in 1930 as William Comyns & Sons Ltd with the remaining son, Richard, registered as the permanent governing director. When Richard died in 1953, the company was bought by Bernard Copping. They are now one of the few remaining manufacturing silversmiths in London with premises in London WC2.
