German antique clock Urgos in Bristol, Gloucestershire for sale
This was my granmothers before she died 2 years ago and she has had it in her home since the 1940s as my grandfather bought it for her during the Second World War while he was based in Germany at the time. It still works when wound up and chimes a truly beautiful item. But sadly no one in my family wishes to keep it anymore and would like it to go to someone who will love it as my gran parents did.
