A beautiful original antique French bronze clock set. It is modelled in the Louis XVI style, restrained and chic with a waisted case decorated with floral and acanthus decoration. Candelabra have three delicate acanthus arms and are complete with original snuffers that are stored in the central nozzle.

Lane was educated at Lancing College and Magdalen College School, and entered St Mary\'s Hospital in 1875. He became Resident Medical Officer, and on taking the Fellowship in 1882 was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Medical School. This post he filled till 1888 when this clock was presented.

The dial is enamel on copper with a separate minute ring and delicately fretted gilt brass hands. The front bezel is glazed with convex glass, the rear bezel is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
