Highclere’s fourth clock
A Neuchatelloise, signed ‘Siraut Destouche Middelbourg’. There are Destouches recorded in Middelburg (NL), but little is known about them. Anybody who has information please let me know. It is a rosewood (kingwood?)-veneered waisted case of classic design with some maquetterie. Massive movement with round plates, verge escapement and countwheel strike.
