brass lantern clock in deal case

Brass lantern clock decorated with 4 winged cherubs around the dial. The dial has quarterly hour engravings but no minute markings. This suggests that the clock was originally a one handed clock. There is an added brass cog wheel to make the clock show the minutes as well as the hours. The chapter ring is in Roman numerals and this would originally have been silvered. There is an iron hour and minute hands..
