Rare Mid 19th Century Drum Dial Clock Signed Pearson & Price

19th century
Description

Very elegant mahogany dial clock with cast brass bezel and silvered sight ring. The silvered brass dial with Roman numerals, minute marker, hour markers and name and address, would have been deeply engraved and then filled with black wax and finally silvered. This would have been a very time consuming and costly process but the end result would last for hundreds of years. This is worth mentioning because ninety nine percent of dial clocks would have had a simple painted iron dial . Fine quality brass, eight day, spring and chain driven movement. We believe the clock was commissioned by Pearson & Price to perhaps hang in their up-market sop at 11 Great Sutton street, London. Fully serviced with one years guarantee.

FAQs

A drum dial clock is a style of wall timepiece characterised by a cylindrical wooden case housing the movement and a prominent circular dial. Originating in the 19th century, these clocks were widely utilized in commercial settings, public buildings, and domestic interiors across Britain.

These timepieces were typically constructed using turned mahogany or oak for the outer surround, alongside a cast brass bezel and protective glass lens. The dial faces were commonly made from silvered brass or painted iron with steel timekeeping hands.

Authentic Victorian dial clocks feature hand-engraved or painted maker details with original location names, cast brass bezels with side latches, and solid wooden back boxes housing mechanical fusee or pendulum movements.

Mount the timepiece as a central focal point on a narrow wall, above a hallway sideboard, or amidst framed art within a gallery wall context. The warm wood tones and metallic accents provide structured contrast against contemporary neutral walls.

Position the clock away from direct sunlight, dampness, and heat sources to preserve the timber and movement. Mechanical movements should be wound according to their specific design and professionally serviced every three to five years.
