Fine Georgian Drop Dial Fusee Wall Clock

18th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Clockwise is delighted to present for your consideration a fine example of a Georgian eight day drop-dial fusee wall clock. This unusual mahogany example has a 12 inch dial with 'Lock & Son, London' notated to the dial and the clock is carved with flower heads and stylised scrolling acanthus surrounding both the dial and the large lower viewing window.

Original high quality hands of the period compliment the appearance as does the original cast brass bezel which locks securely into a tab

The recently overhauled and cleaned eight day duration fusee timepiece movement has an anchor recoil escapement and as such benefits from my three year guarantee.

The restored case is a standard two-piece design with decorative surround attaching to the back box via four matching wooden pegs. There is an access door to the side of the clock and a door to the bottom of the case.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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 drop dial fusee wall clock is a timepiece featuring a circular upper dial with an extended lower wooden trunk section that houses the pendulum, powered by a mechanical fusee cone mechanism.

These timepieces were typically crafted using solid or veneered mahogany for the outer case, cast brass for the movement and pendulum, and painted or enamelled metal for the dial face.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut movement gears, an internal fusee mechanism, hand-carved wood surrounds, and period-correct maker inscriptions printed on the dial face.

Position the clock as a central focal piece in a hallway, above a study desk, or integrated into a gallery wall alongside framed botanical prints and architectural sketches.

Keep the casing away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity, clean the exterior timber with a dry lint-free cloth, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
