Baillie, but is also known to have been a retailer for Thomas Cole at Brighton Observatory, 40 King's Road, Brighton. Thomas Cole also produced Egyptian Revival clocks during this period, including examples featuring the same scrolling, engraved dial apparent in the present clock. An example of a Thomas Cole clock retailed by Boxell in the Egyptian taste is illustrated on the front cover of Hawkins (JB), 'Thomas Cole & Victorian Clockmaking', which sold Christie's 25 Feb 1971.
