An 8" Railway Fusee Wall Clock

19th century
Sold 29 May 2025 · Kembery Antique Clocks Ltd
This “8" Railway Fusee Wall Clock” found a buyer.

It was listed by Kembery Antique Clocks Ltd. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A small, late Victorian Railway fusee dial wall clock. An 8" painted dial signed 'B.R (N.E) and numbered 2559' with blued steel hands. An oak case with choice grain below. A cast brass bezel surround. An 8-day duration fusee timepiece mechanism. Circa 1895.

The dial has not been repainted, this was often the case when the railways were nationalised in 1948. British Rail workshops would repaint and names would be put over 'L.N.E.R' for example. This is likely to have been utilised at this date. There is a large written mark on the rear of the case 'S O' which could have been South Bank, South Cave or Southburn which were stations in that region. There are also lots of numbers and marks on the inside of the side door. ??

Height 14/36 cms Width 10" / 26cms Depth 5 " / 13 cms.

To preserve the mechanism, the clock should be professionally serviced every few years, kept away from direct sunlight and damp environments, and wound carefully using the correct key without over-tensioning the spring.

This piece works well as a focal point in a home office or hallway, mounted at eye level against a neutral wall to highlight its traditional craftsmanship and architectural form.

Authenticity is identified by examining the movement for a fusee chain or cord, inspecting the dial for company markings or station numbers, and checking the timber case for period-appropriate joinery, patination, and wear consistent with age and use.

These clocks typically feature robust timber cases made from oak or mahogany, housing a brass fusee movement. The dials are traditionally painted iron or wood with Roman numerals, protected by a cast brass bezel and a hinged glass door.

A railway fusee wall clock is a timekeeping device historically used across railway networks to maintain strict timetabling. These clocks feature a fusee movement, a cone-shaped pulley designed to maintain constant tension on the gear train as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring high accuracy.
