Anything within the victorian period can get a little fuzzy with dating since there are no obvious indications of short date range like GR or WR, and the company was fairly consistent over the period and produced a lot of similar models. That said, based purely on aesthetics, I would guess somewhere in the 1850s-1880s range for that one.
