Founded by Manoah Rhodes in Bradford in 1836. Maker of gold and silver watches, jewellery and silver plate. The business grew into one of the largest jewellers in the north of England. Rhodes died in March 1881 and in 1888 the firm became Manoah Rhodes & Sons Ltd.
Movement needs a clean, the whole is very nicotine stained, we have lightly cleaned the porcelain panels and the gilt surround, it should respond very well to cleaning, the bird finial has pulled off the top of the clock but can be repaired
