19th century
Description

Antique Single Fusee Inlaid Balloon Cased Mantel Clock With Silvered Dial.

This lovely antique single fusee mantel clock has a beautiful “balloon” shaped case. The case is mahogany with lovely cross banding as well as an array of intricate inlay to the front. Finally the case is finished by a moulding around the bottom edge and four shaped brass feet to the bottom.

The dial is then silvered and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The centre of the dial is then beautifully engraved. The dial is then finished by a lovely bevelled glass set into a brass bezel as well as two shaped hands.

The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It is a fully working fusee example of the upmost quality and comes complete with its regulating pendulum and winding key.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A balloon mantel clock is a spring-driven table clock featuring an waisted wooden case shaped like an inverted balloon, a design introduced in Britain during the late 18th century.

These clocks were predominantly crafted with mahogany or satinwood cases decorated with marquetry inlays, cast brass bezels, silvered metal dials, and brass mechanical fusee movements.

Authentic period examples feature single or double fusee mechanical movements, fine hand-engraved silvered dials, original brass bracket feet, and natural wear to the wood polish and dial surface.

Place the clock as a central focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console, or within a curated bookcase alongside contemporary art and neutral decor.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, dust the case with a microfibre cloth, apply natural bees wax occasionally, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist.
