This drop dial clock was made by the clock maker: L.K. Rogers, and he produced the clock circa 1872 in Bradford On Avon. This information was obtained after some research.

Beautiful fusee clock that keeps excellent time, has a nice ring on the hours and is adorned with intricate inlay in the rosewood veneer.

Beautiful indeed! Depending upon who manufactured the clock's movement (Jerome & New Haven) I believe that this general style of clock is sometimes also referred to as "Anglo-American". Love the Marquetry
If that is what you have here and you haven't already dug up info on Anglo-American clocks, See: https://www.google.com/search?q=anglo+american+clock&rlz=1CAACAG_enUS687US687&espv=2&biw=1363&bih=678&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj6t5bboJbOAhWITCYKHcpqBR8Q_AUIBygC
