Beautiful Antique Single Fusee Miniature Balloon Clock In Full Working Order.
This beautiful miniature balloon clock has a mahogany case with a wonderful rich colour and grain. Starting the the top there is a lovely brass “acorn” finial sat on top of a shaped section. This then leads to the typical “balloon” shaped body of the case. There is then an array of intricate mouldings to the arched base with set the piece off wonderfully. Finally it is finished by four lovely shaped brass feet.
The dial is then enamel and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The dial then has two intricately shaped hands as well as a domed, protective glass set into a brass bezel.
The movement is then both wound and accessed from the back. It is ticking away as it should and comes complete with its winding key. It is then a single fusee example on a balance wheel which is rare in itself, but to see a fusee movement of this size is unheard of!
Would make an absolutely fantastic addition to any home or collection.
It measures approximately:
- 10.5” / 26.5cm Tall.
- 5.75” / 14.5cm Wide.
- 2.75” / 7cm Deep.
