Charles Edward Viner (1788-1879). A very fine watch, clock and chronometer maker. Apprenticed to Thomas Savage in 1802 he became a member of The Clockmakers Company in 1813 and was a Liveryman between 1819 and 1840. He traded from several London addresses, 233 Regent Street, 1 Royal Exchange and a retail outlet at 151 New Bond Street.

An elegant clock with clean lines that would go well in any setting. The glazed rear door has an original paper label from the famous firm of clockmakers Barraud & Lund with repair dates, the earliest being November 1873.
