A George III Mahogany Dial Clock

18th century
Description

A fine George III dial clock in a mahogany case, the mahogany surround with moulded edge and with a hinged cast brass bezel with convex glass to the 14” brass dial with a broad raised chapter ring with Roman numerals in black and outer minute track with Arabic five minute intervals and an inner quarter marking track, around a matted centre with decorative pierced black steel hands and a fitted shaped plate marked L J Meyer, to an eight day fusee timepiece movement with an anchor escapement within A-shaped brass plates, fitted at the back with an integral iron loop and with stabilisers at the sides, English circa 1780. Supplied with door key and winding key.

Condition: Overall very good, the clock is in very good condition with no damage or splits to the mahogany surround, the hinge is solid and the brass bezel is in good condition, the brass dial is in excellent condition with no damage and the numbering appears to be all original, the movement has been fully serviced and overhauled and is in excellent working condition, there are no signs of there having been a conversion to anchor escapement, the box at the back is possibly a later replacement but no later than 1830, the stabilisers have been fitted within the last fifty years. Overall the clock has a wonderful appearance with a stunning dial which has a lovely warm colour and beautifully drawn numbers, the hands are very attractive and the mahogany surround has a pleasing colour. The maker's label on the dial seems to be a later retailer’s name.

FAQs

Dial clocks produced during the reign of King George III in the late 18th and early 19th centuries are circular wall timepieces featuring framed wooden bezels and prominent brass or painted dials. Originally devised for public buildings, commercial offices, and grand residences, they were engineered for maximum legibility and dependable timekeeping.

Georgian dial clocks generally consist of a solid moulded mahogany bezel surround enclosing a brass or painted iron dial face behind a glass door. Internal mechanical movements were usually constructed with heavy brass plates, steel arbors, and fusee wire or chain systems built for longevity.

Authentic period dial clocks feature hand-turned mahogany surrounds, heavy cast brass bezels with latched closures, hand-engraved or silvered brass dials, and steel hands. Inspecting the maker name and location inscribed on the dial face provides key details regarding historical origins.

Mount the clock as a focal decorative accent on a narrow wall space, above a hallway console table, or within an understated gallery wall arrangement. The rich tones of dark mahogany wood and reflective brass introduce warmth and historical texture to contemporary interiors.

Maintain the exterior by dusting the glass and mahogany frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying beeswax sparingly to protect the wood grain. To preserve mechanical operation, have a professional horologist clean, oil, and adjust the movement every five to seven years.
