It was listed by Clockwise. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Clockwise has dated this Antique Fusee Wall Clock to the Victorian era.
The oak case has fantastic colour and patination since its restoration with a lovely sheen to it. The lower door retains its working lock as does the original cast brass bezel which has a key operated fully working internal lock to the dial surround. The case also benefits from a side door and stabilising hooks.
The recently restored dial is a particular feature of this lovely clock and has the name of the retailer - F J Hicks, Yeovil - to the dial. The handsome appearance is finished by the original spade hands.
This is a truly stunning clock in gorgeous condition and it’s one of many fusee clocks I have coming onto the market.
In the 1891 edition of 'Where to Buy' Fred Hick's business was given the following description -

Practical Watch and Clock Maker, &c,
33, Middle Street
This is a young establishment, having been started only in June 1889, and Mr Hicks has a small but well-selected stock of watches, clocks, jewellery, and optical goods, the quality and price of which will compare favourably with any house in the line.
Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.
