A Good English Fusee Drop-dial Wall Clock with a Convex Dial in a Mahogany Case. circa 1825.

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

A lovely example of this type of iconic, late Regency period wall clock.

The 8 day duration, fusee timepiece movement with Anchor Recoil escapement, shouldered plates, long pendulum, stop work and offset winding.

Behind a 12" diameter, bowed (convex) painted iron dial. Having an outer and divided minute track and inner, Roman hour numerals. The centre bears the maker's signature of "SIMMS (of) CHIPPING NORTON". Having blued steel and matching 'spade' style hands and under a cast brass, locking bezel with a bowed glass.

Contained in a good, dark Cuban mahogany case of excellent figuring, colour and patina. The narrow and moulded bezel surround sits over the trunk that is inlaid with brass geometrical designs with the upper border line conforming to the curve of the bezel surround. It is flanked with plain and shaped 'ears' and is separated from the rounded base by a 3-sided ebony moulding. The base has a rounded, cockbeaded and locking regulation door and also has conforming brass inlay. The backbox has the usual access door to the right side.

* The maker was probably Samuel Simms circa 1790 to 1869.

Dimensions: 22" high x 14 1/2" wide x 6 1/2" deep at the glass apex.

Circa: 1825.

Condition: The movement is working well and keeping good time but currently awaiting an overhaul. The dial is of good colour, sound with no flaking and merely shows a stain around the rivet seating of one of the connecting feet. The case is fully restored, of superb colour and both locks are working correctly. This is an excellent example, in fantastic condition. It is extremely original throughout.

Price: The price is for the clock in fully overhauled and guaranteed condition.

FAQs

A fusee drop-dial wall clock is an early 19th-century British timepiece featuring a circular upper dial and a lower wooden extension or trunk. The internal mechanism incorporates a cone-shaped pulley known as a fusee, which equalises the tension of the mainspring as it unwinds to ensure consistent timekeeping accuracy.

These clocks typically feature cases crafted from mahogany or oak, often decorated with brass inlay or carved side ears. The dials were generally made from painted iron or enamelled metal beneath a glass door, with internal movements manufactured from heavy cast brass plates and steel gears.

Authentic Regency examples feature heavy cast brass fusee movements, hand-painted dials often signed by regional clockmakers, cast brass bezels with convex glass, and brass stringing or brass foliate motifs inlaid directly into the mahogany trunk.

A mahogany drop-dial clock creates a strong focal point when mounted above a dining room sideboard, entry console, or within a hallway scheme. Pairing dark timber horological pieces against contemporary neutral wall finishes highlights their architectural silhouettes and brass detailing.

Keep the clock level and securely wall-mounted in a room with stable humidity and temperature to protect the timber case from warping. Mechanical movements require regular winding with an appropriately fitted key and professional servicing by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
