Provenance - Previously sold by Page's of Ibstock, Leicestershire, England. The business was well known for many years specialising in the restoration, repair and maintenance of antique clocks. It ceased to trade a number of years ago. This clock was acquired by us directly from the vendor who had purchased the clock from Page's during the 1990's.
