Just bought this in a Bristol auction. (pics with permission) Bristol signed clock in Bristol auction so not the World's greatest bargain but still it was ok.
It is an early style of iron dial with the dial mounted on the mahogany surround with dial feet and the movement on a falseplate screwed direct to the back of the surround.
Even for this style it is unusual, probably because it is small, so that the dial feet can't be seen without removing the surround from the back box. On a larger clock you would see them without removing the backbox which would usually be screwed to the surround under the dial.
It is a bit of a transition approach.
The movement has an unexplained post on one of the pillars but doesn't seem too bad. The pendulum has lost the suspension and the case has been a bit bodged but that is all fixable.
