Outstanding Twin-fusee, Bell Striking, Drop=dial Wall Clock

19th century
For Sale by Masons Antiques
Description

One of the nicest and most attractive clocks we have ever had the pleasure to offer for sale. Out and out quality from start to finish.

A rosewood case with inlaid nacre embellishments throughout. Further enhanced by the outer rim of the bezel surround being ebonised. It has inspection doors to both sides and a key lockable door to the underside. There is a sound-fret panel to the top, ensuring the perfect sounding of the bell. There is a glazed aperture to the lower half of the case through which the pendulum can be seen working.

The 8 day, twin gut fusee movement has just been fully overhauled by our BHI horologist and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee. It strikes the number of hours on the hour on a cast bell, with a beautiful melodic tone.

The 12" (30cm) , white painted dial has black Roman numerals and nicely cut hands, contained within a glazed, cast brass bezel.

We must emphasize that unfortunately our pictures fail to convey the true beauty of this clock as we are very good at clocks and very bad at photography. It truly is stunning to look at.

Please carefully note our price for this clock in comparison to similar ones on the market.

FAQs

A twin-fusee drop-dial wall clock is a British mechanical timekeeper featuring two cone-shaped pulleys powered by mainsprings, housed in a casing with an extended lower section called a drop dial to accommodate the pendulum. The twin-fusee mechanism powers both timekeeping and a bell-striking train.

These clocks were manufactured using mahogany, rosewood, or walnut cases, decorated with foliate brass inlays. The mechanical movements consist of solid brass plates, steel arbors, and a cast bell, set behind a circular brass bezel and glass lens.

Authentic 19th-century fusee movements feature heavy brass plates secured with knurled pillars, wire gut or steel chain wrapped around spiralled fusee cones, and hand-cut gears. The dial usually exhibits age-appropriate crazing around winding aperture points rather than printed modern graphics.

A drop-dial clock functions as a focal architectural element when mounted on a plain wall, above a fireplace, or within a hallway alcove. Its dark wood tones and brass detail offer visual contrast in both traditional homes and contemporary minimalist spaces.

To preserve a fusee clock, ensure the case is mounted perfectly level to allow proper pendulum swing. Dust the wood case with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh polishes on brass inlay, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every three to five years.
