Small, Fusee, English Dial Clock with a 10" Bowed Dial. circa 1835.

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

A very well-proportioned English 'drop-dial' wall clock in lovely condition.

The 8 day duration, gut fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement, knopped pillars and shouldered plates.

Behind a 10" diameter, bowed, painted iron dial with it's original cream white background, outer divided minute track with diamond quarters, inner, Roman hour numerals and the upper centre bearing the maker's signature of "WICKES Clements Lane & Lombard Street" and below the winding hole: "LONDON". The matching blued steel hands are 'open moon' style. Behind a cast brass, locking, hinged bezel with a high bowed glass.

Contained in a mahogany 'drop' case with a one-piece, narrow dial surround and a well-figured short trunk the front of which has brass inlay depicting a simple floral scroll. The rounded bottom has a conforming locking and cockbeaded door and the right side also has a hinged access door.

* This really is not just a good quality and most original clock. Aesthetically, it is a small, very, very attractive clock and - it will outlast us all - as it has outlasted its original owners, it would a be a great heirloom and will always suit even the most modern home.

Dimensions: 15" high x 12" wide x 6" deep at the glass apex.

Circa: 1835. The maker however is recorded as being in The Clockmaker's Company in 1810.

Condition: The movement is clean, well maintained and though working well, awaiting my overhaul. The dial is excellent with very slight and acceptable blistering to the base paint. The bezel and glass are also excellent and the lock is working. The case is well-figured and has a good patina, there is only age-related slight damage here and there but not enough to warrant correction. All in all, this is a handsome and charming little clock that is almost 200 years old and basically, absolutely original.

Price: The price comes with a full guarantee.

This William IV drop-dial wall clock dates from circa 1835 and is formed from warm brown mahogany, brass, and glass. The round mahogany case holds a 10-inch bowed painted iron dial with a cream white background, black Roman numerals, an outer minute track, and black maker lettering for Wickes of Clements Lane and Lombard Street in London. The face is protected by a high bowed convex glass set within a cast brass hinged bezel. Blued steel hands indicate the time. Below the dial, the short trunk features a well-figured wood grain decorated with brass inlay depicting a floral scroll. The clock measures 38.1 cm high, 30.5 cm wide, and 15.2 cm deep. Designed for wall mounting, this piece is well suited for placement on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The movement has an eight-day duration gut fusee mechanism with an anchor recoil escapement. Access is provided by a hinged side door and a rounded bottom door with cockbeading. The exterior displays a good patina with age-related minor marks on the wood surfaces and slight blistering to the base paint of the dial. A key hangs from a side winding point on the case. It operates as a functional timepiece and decorative interior accent.

FAQs

An English fusee dial clock is a wall-mounted timepiece featuring a circular face and a mechanical movement driven by a fusee cone, designed to equalise force as the mainspring unwinds. Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, these clocks were widely used in public spaces, offices, and homes across Britain.

These timepieces typically feature cases crafted from mahogany, oak, or walnut, housing brass eight-day fusee movements. The dials were usually made of painted sheet iron or brass behind a convex glass face set within a cast brass bezel.

Authentic William IV and early Victorian dial clocks feature hand-painted Roman numerals, a cast brass bezel with a glass front, and a chain or gut-driven fusee movement inside a solid wooden case. Look for maker marks on the dial and brass plates held with steel pillars in the movement.

Position the clock as a focal point on a gallery wall or above a console table in a hallway, study, or dining room. The mahogany finish and brass details complement both traditional wood panelling and modern plaster finishes.

Keep the clock level and away from direct heat sources or high humidity to prevent wood movement and component corrosion. Dust the case with a dry microfibre cloth and ensure the mechanical movement is professionally cleaned and oiled every five to seven years.
