Description

A 14inch wooden dial, wall clock with an attractive trunk of highly figured mahogany. Signed Gunter to the rear of the dial and the 'A' shaped fusee movement stamped Thwaites 1041 which dates it to 1781. The dial signed Richard Gunter of London and most likely made this in 1781 or 1782. He is known for producing elegant clocks throughout the late Georgian period and he often bought in movements from Thwaites - a high quality movement supplier. The clock is very attractive and the choice of Mahogany and shaping of the lower door points to expert cabinet making. The Bezel is the earlier concave type which was cast and held with a lock and key.

FAQs

Georgian wall clocks, particularly dial and fusee clocks, gained prominence in public spaces, offices, and large homes during the 18th and early 19th centuries due to their precision and readability.

Authentic period clocks typically feature solid mahogany or oak cases, brass bezels, hand-painted convex or flat dials, and intricate steel or brass mechanical movements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-painted dial for signs of ageing, inspecting the fusee movement for maker signatures and hand-cut gears, and checking the timber construction for period-appropriate joinery.

Mounting a historic timber clock on a plain neutral wall creates a striking focal point, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist aesthetics.

These timepieces require professional servicing every few years to clean and oil the mechanical movement, along with avoiding direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to preserve the wood and dial.
