Description

A pretty and solidly made, 8" dial clock.

The 8 day duration, gut fusee movement with screwed and pinned pillars, Anchor Recoil escapement and a substantial pendulum with a brass-faced bob.

Behind an 8" diameter, flat, painted iron dial with original paintwork, outer divided minute track and Roman hour numerals. The hands are blued steel, the hour hand being 'spade' design. Behind a hinged brass bezel with a sight ring and flat glass.

Contained in a solid mahogany case. The one-piece and pegged dial surround has a convex moulded edge. The back box has a removable access door to the right and a latched and hinged curved regulation door within the curved bottom.

I particularly like these pretty little clocks, they are substantial and attractive with a full-size fusee movement snugly fitting within the back box.

Dimensions: 10 1/2" wide x 10 1/2" high x 5 1/2" deep.

Condition: Incredibly original. The fully working movement has been historically maintained and retains its original lacquer. The case and all 4 pegs are original and in beautiful French polished condition and importantly, the dial has all of its original paintwork including the numerals; the minute track is a little worn in areas and the base paint has a few minor chips - nothing detrimental to its appearance or value. The brass bezel locks with its tab and retains old lacquer and the sight ring which appears to be zinc has discoloured. All in all, it is a pretty and highly original little clock.

Price: The price will include a complete overhaul and lengthy guarantee.

A fusee dial clock is a traditional timekeeping device featuring a fusee cone mechanism designed to equalise the driving force of the mainspring, ensuring consistent accuracy. These clocks were widely used in public spaces, offices, and railways across Britain from the 18th to the early 20th century.

Authentic period dial clocks generally feature solid hardwood cases such as mahogany, oak, or rosewood, combined with brass bezels, hand-painted white enamel or wooden dials, and thick bevelled glass lenses protecting the face.

Authentication involves inspecting the internal fusee movement for chain or gutline drive mechanisms, examining the hand-carved construction of the wooden case, checking for maker signatures on the dial or movement, and observing natural ageing patterns on the brass and wood components.

An antique wall clock serves as a striking focal point when hung against a neutral wall in a hallway, study, or living room. Its classic circular geometry bridges traditional and contemporary aesthetics, pairing particularly well with minimalist or transitional decor.

Preservation requires mounting the clock securely on a solid wall to prevent vibrations, keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced and oiled every three to five years.
