The 12-inch brass dial has a silvered chapter ring and a matted dial centre with recessed subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture.

The brass spandrels are of an unusual pattern with a peacock built into the design. This pattern was used by a few makers in the 1760 - 1785 period.

The 4-pillar movement has an anchor escapement with rack striking and the clock sounds the hours on a bell.
