Victorian Regulator

A Victorian Longcase Regulator by Robert Gellatly of Edinburgh with mahogany case, velvet lining and crossbanded top locking  door panel.  The mechanism boasts six spoke wheel work with dead beat escapement and maintaining power.  The silvered dial is engraved with Arabic numerals to the quarters and time indicated by polished and blued steel hands.

There is little information relating to Gellatly but he is known to be in business as a clock and watchmaker on North Bridge at around 1850 and then at 78 Princes Street a few years later.
