A Small, Oak, Fusee English Dial Wall Clock. retailed by Harrods. circa 1890.

19th century
For Sale by M. C. Taylor
Description

A very attractive and small wall clock.

The 8 day duration, chain fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement.

Behind a 9 1/2" (visible) flat, painted iron dial with a cream coloured background and black inking. The outer divided minute track has triangular hour markings and it has Roman hour numerals. The centre has the retailer's signature of "Harrods Ltd. London S.W." in script. The hands are blued steel with the hour hand of spade style. Covered with a brass hinged bezel with flat glass and a silvered sight ring.

Contained in a beautifully French polished, light oak case of good colour and patina. The pegged back box has an access door to the right hand side and the curved bottom has a further locking, curved and cockbeaded door for pendulum regulating access.

Dimensions: 12 1/2" diameter x 6" deep.

Condition: The well-maintained movement is bright, shows no signs of wear and is in excellent working order. The dial has been restored by us because it had losses of paint and areas of poor patching however, for the purpose of authentication, I photographed it before restoration as evidence and the original base colour was perfectly colour-matched. The case is undamaged, unrestored and has excellent colour and patination. It has a superb polished finish. The lock works well and everything about this little clock sold by the world's most famous retailer is -'just so'!

Price: The price is for the clock carrying a full guarantee.

This Victorian wall clock originates from circa 1890 and belongs to the style category of a gentleman's library. Constructed from warm brown light oak, glass, and brass, the piece has a polished finish and displays a round moulded oak surround, a brass bezel, spade hands, and a cream-painted dial with black Roman numerals. The dial includes the script signature "Harrods Ltd. London S.W.", an outer divided minute track with triangular hour markings, and a hinged brass bezel enclosing flat glass. The 31.8 cm high, 31.8 cm wide, and 15.2 cm deep clock features a pegged back box, a side access door, and a curved bottom door for pendulum access. Suitably sized for narrow wall spaces, this timepiece hangs effectively in hallways, studies, or living rooms to provide reliable timekeeping while serving as a decorative wall accent. Homeowners mount the clock securely at eye level on interior walls using appropriate fixings to ensure visibility of the dial and proper operation of the internal pendulum mechanism.

FAQs

A fusee dial clock is a wall-mounted timepiece powered by a spring-driven mechanical movement that utilizes a cone-shaped pulley and chain to equalise torque as the mainspring unwinds. Originating in Great Britain, these functional clocks became standard fixtures in railway stations, public buildings, and commercial establishments throughout the nineteenth century.

Victorian dial clocks were typically constructed with solid timber surrounds made from oak, mahogany, or walnut, housing hand-assembled brass movements and iron dial plates. The front cover consists of a brass bezel fitted with glass to protect the painted dial face.

Authentic period examples feature heavy cast brass movement plates, hand-painted metal dials, and a fusee chain or gut line mechanism rather than a standard spring barrel. The wooden cases feature side or bottom access doors for pendulum adjustment and show natural patination around the winding aperture and latches.

A circular oak dial clock functions well as a singular statement piece on a neutral painted wall, above a hallway console table, or within a home office. Its simple geometric frame and clear numeral dial allow it to blend seamlessly into modern Scandinavian, industrial, or traditional English country interiors.

To preserve the clock, mount it securely in a level position away from direct heat sources and damp environment to prevent timber warping. The mechanical movement should be serviced and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years, while the oak surround requires only light waxing with a clear natural beeswax.
