Bell Striking, Twin Fusee, Drop-dial Wall Clock

19th century
For Sale by Masons Antiques
Description

A striking drop-dial wall clock, striking on an outside bell.

The twin fusee movement has just been fully serviced by our BHI registered horologist and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee. Quite unusually the bell on which it strikes is situated at the top of the case externally. It strikes with a beautifully clean, resonating strike.

The mahogany case is beautifully polished with a rich, warm, and age related patina. It has a brass surround glazed ventricle to the lower half through which the pendulum can be seen operating. Also, brass stringing to the edges. It has inspection doors to either side of the case and a door to the underside.

The 12" white painted dial has black Roman numerals with black "birds beak" hands. It is surrounded with a cast brass bezel and convex glass.

A lovely and very sensibly priced clock.

Worldwide delivery.

All cards accepted.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A drop-dial wall clock features a circular upper dial face with an extended lower wooden housing, or trunk, designed to accommodate the swing of a longer pendulum. The fusee mechanism uses a cone-shaped pulley and chain to equalize the force of the mainspring, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run.

These clocks typically incorporate solid and veneered hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for the casing. The mechanical movements consist of brass plates and steel arbours, while the dials were historically painted sheet iron set behind a glass lens and brass bezel.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cast brass bezels, heavy brass clock plates within the movement, and natural age-related crazing or patina on the painted iron dial face. Mechanical indicators include a key-wound winding arbor and a fusee cone visible within the movement mechanism.

A drop-dial clock serves as a focal point when mounted on a narrow hallway wall, above a sideboard, or within a home office or library. Its rich timber casing pairs effectively with modern neutral wall paint and traditional wooden joinery.

Keep the clock level and securely mounted to prevent movement disruption. Dust the exterior casing with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, avoid chemical polishes on the dial face, and have the internal movement oiled by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
