Description

A very robust, 20th century wall clock.

The substantial, industrial quality, 8 day duration chain fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement. Having pinned and screwed pillars and the backplate bearing the maker's trademark of "DENT" within a triangle and "LONDON" below it.

Behind a flat, painted metal dial with its original 'conserved' paintwork. The outer divided minute track has triangular hour markings and encompasses Roman hour numerals. The upper centre bears the maker's name of "DENT" within a triangle and the lower centre displays "LONDON 68328". It is also marked "MADE IN ENGLAND" to the bottom. Also having black metal hands and a cast brass, polished bezel with a flat glass and an integral silvered sight ring.

Contained in a solid mahogany case, the dial surround being made from several pieces to avoid shrinkage and the back box has a right side access door and a lower curved access door set within the curved bottom.

Dent were famous English clockmakers and produced excellent quality clocks for monarchs, the armed forces and the public spanning generations. For more information please click here.

Dimensions: 15" diameter x 6" deep.

Condition: Well maintained and extremely good with the exception of small chips to the bottom of the bezel glass (this is replaceable), the bezel is well polished and lacquered. The movement is good and in good working order with no signs of wear however, there is old oil staining to the backplate and it would benefit from an overhaul to rectify this. The dial is excellent with signs of conservation and the case is also excellent with just the appearance of age and usage. No evident damage, splits or open joints can be seen. On the whole, the condition is excellent and totally original.

Price: The price is for the clock in present and working condition however, should the purchaser require any work to be carried out, a price can be supplied upon request.

FAQs

Mechanical clocks require professional servicing every few years to clean and oil the movement, along with placement away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity.

An antique wall clock serves as a focal point when mounted at eye level on a plain, neutral wall, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Authenticity is verified by examining the quality of the hand-engraved or signed movement, the presence of a chain or gut line fusee, and period-appropriate construction methods.

These clocks typically feature solid timber cases such as mahogany, oak, or rosewood, paired with painted iron or wooden dials and brass bezels.

A fusee is a conical pulley with a helical groove used in mechanical clocks to maintain even power delivery as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping.
