19th century
For Sale by Cross Antiques
Description

A19th Cent dial clock with a stylish octagonal case. The dial is signed for R Talbot, Ealing. I can't find details of this maker so it may be the name of a retailer or possibly the name of a shop where it resided.

The case is in rosewood with mother of pearl inlay.

It has a good quality 8 day fusee movement with a 12" painted dial and spade hands.

The case is in good condition with only a very small section of inlay missing.

The movement is in good running order and keeping good time.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A fusee dial clock is an English wall timepiece utilising a cone-shaped pulley mechanism connected to a mainspring by a chain or cord. This design equalises the force driving the clock movement as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout the 19th century.

These clocks were typically constructed with solid wood or veneered cases using rosewood, mahogany, or oak, often decorated with brass or mother-of-pearl inlays. The movements were made of heavy brass, housed behind cast brass bezels with glass doors.

Authentic pieces feature heavy brass movement plates, hand-cut gear teeth, cast brass bezels, and original painted metal dials displaying Roman numerals. The presence of a winding arbor and a fusee cone visible within the movement housing confirms the mechanism type.

Position the clock as a focal point on a neutral or dark painted accent wall, above a console table, or within a gallery wall arrangement. Combining dark timber and brass details with contemporary furnishings creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern aesthetic.

Keep the timepiece away from direct heat sources, draughts, and high humidity to prevent timber movement and dial deterioration. Dust the exterior gently with a dry microfiber cloth, wind the movement regularly using the correct key, and have the mechanism serviced by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
