AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Westminster chime oak mantel clock. Chimes every 15 minutes and strikes full hours, with Westminster chime and an option for silencing the chimes.
Some signs of wear and discolouration in places, one of the rods sounds a little bit false, may need adjustment, measurements 28 x 22 x 13cm,

The Westminster Quarters (or Westminster Chimes, from its use at the Palace of Westminster) is a melody used by a set of striking clock bells to mark each quarter-hour. It is also known as the Cambridge Quarters or Cambridge Chimes from its place of origin, the church of St Mary the Great, Cambridge. The number of chime sets matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
