Decorated clock - any idea what this is?

Sorry for bad photos, it was a quick mobile snap and I could only access the front.

Its a carriage clock. Probably striking on the hours and quarters. I can't tell any more without better pictures.

Thanks Mike, any particular angle you need? I'll take a camera next time I visit.

Movement will be the most telling thing, along with any other markings. I'm not an expert by any means, but those are the things that will be asked for.

Hard to tell what it is from those pics, and with nothing to give a sense of scale. Carriage clocks are normally wound from the back. It doesn't look French, because the winding holes are unfinished (no brass grommets). The hands look American, but most American-made clocks sold in the UK were very badly finished. I'd guess at it being German, possibly HAC (Hamburg American Clock co.) or Junghans (they made some carriage style clocks with pressed metal cases).

A pic of the movement back plate and escapement will reveal all.
