Description

A totally original and very attractive little dial clock.

The eight day duration, gut fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement and shaped pillars.

Behind a white painted, 8" diameter iron dial with black Roman numerals, outer divided minute ring and uniquely Walker 'spade' hands (black painted brass with a pronounced spade to the hour hand). The centre being signed "JOHN Walker 1 South Molton Street. LONDON" and the glazed and polished brass bezel sits nicely over the dial.

In a pale mahogany case of good patina and colour. Also having side access side door and curved, cockbeaded and locking regulation door to the curved bottom.

* This whole clock including the pendulum is original and in well maintained condition, the colour and patina is lovely and the dial is in almost perfect condition. Of course, there are age signs of its 120 years or so of usage but nothing to distract from its appearance. Structurally the case is very sound, the bezel hinge is tight and it all feels very robust. This is a rare opportunity to obtain an antique clock in totally original and well maintained condition - it will enhance any room. I want to give the movement an overhaul because the front fusee bearing is worn and though not nearly as important as the rear one - I want to correct it and tidy up the rest of the movement.

** John Walker were manufactures of clocks and are best known for supplying timepieces to the principal railway companies of the day. They supplied them with clocks and watches and also maintained and serviced them. John Walker started in business in 1845 and the company were still in existence as late as 1980. Their main location was 1 South Molton Street but they had various premises in London: addresses can be found on the dials of their clocks.

Dimensisons: 10 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" deep.

FAQs

To preserve a fusee clock, keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and dramatic temperature fluctuations, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced and oiled every three to five years.

An antique wall clock serves as a striking focal point when mounted solo on a plain, neutral wall, bringing warmth, history, and architectural interest to contemporary or transitional spaces.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-correct construction methods such as hand-cut wheel teeth, engraved maker signatures on the dial or movement backplate, high-quality fusee movements, and natural ageing like minor patination on the timber and dial.

Traditional wall clocks typically feature solid timber frames such as mahogany, oak, or rosewood, paired with brass bezels, painted enamel or metal dials, and hand-forged steel internal components.

A fusee wall clock is a type of mechanical clock utilising a cone-shaped pulley (the fusee) with a cord or chain attached to the mainspring barrel, which equalises the torque of the mainspring as it winds down to ensure accurate timekeeping.
