Small, English, Fusee, Drop-dial Wall Clock with an 8" Dial and Light Oak Case. circa 1905.

1900 - 1920
For Sale by M. C. Taylor
Description

A beautiful little wall clock with a very unusual though fully original, light oak case.

The 8 day duration, gut fusee movement with an Anchor Recoil escapement and crutch beat setting.

Behind a 7 1/2" visible, painted iron dial that retains its original paint. Having an outer, divided minute track and hour triangular markings, Roman hour numerals and the upper centre portion bearing "KENT EDUCATION COMMITTEE". The numeral VI is flanked with the maker's name of "THOMPSON (of) BIRMINGHAM". The matching 'arrow head' hands are of blued steel.

The polished brass, hinged bezel has a sight ring and flat glass.

In a cute yet very substantial light oak case with a one-piece moulded dial surround that is pegged on and recessed for the dial and bezel.

The back box has a short trunk with a curved bottom and locking regulation door that conforms with the dial surround. It also has hinged access doors to both sides.

Robert Thompson was established in 1785.

* I find this little clock extremely pleasing to the eye with its well written dial and light oak case.

Dimensions: 13" high x 10 3/4" wide x 6 1/4" deep.

Condition: The movement is clean and working well with no visible signs of wear but has not yet been serviced by me. The dial is wholly original and retains its original paint and writing, it does however show minor wear due to its age and usage. The case and bezel are in restored condition with a lovely French polished finish to the oak. There are signs of historical wear and repair and the lower door lock is working.

Price: The price includeds a full guarantee.

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 fusee wall clock utilises a cone-shaped pulley and chain mechanism designed to equalise the torque of the mainspring, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run. Popularised in 19th and early 20th-century Britain, these durable mechanical timepieces were widely used in public institutions, offices, and schools.

These clocks usually feature solid hardwood cases such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, housing a brass mechanical movement. The dial is typically painted sheet metal framed by a cast brass bezel with glass, while the drop portion protects the pendulum.

Authentic pieces feature heavy brass movement plates held by screwed pillars rather than modern stamped brass, alongside a tapered fusee cone and steel cable or brass chain. Look for cast brass bezels, original hand-painted dials, and traditional wooden peg construction on the outer case.

Mount the clock on a neutral or dark painted accent wall to highlight the oak grain and polished brass bezel. Its utilitarian aesthetic complements hallway gallery walls, home offices, or dining spaces alongside contemporary wood furniture.

Position the clock away from direct sunlight, dampness, and heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage and movement degradation. Have the movement professionally oiled and serviced every three to five years, and gently dust the case with a soft, dry cloth.
