Description

Clockwise is proud to present another lovely clock for your consideration. This is a delightful English fusee dial clock from the renowned clock and watchmaker R. C Marsh & Co of Birmingham.

The substantial 8 day duration fusee movement has squared plates and the wire-driven movement is in perfect order having just been serviced and retains its original pendulum.

The twelve inch dial and original spade hands are in great condition and the oak surround and cabinet box, which has an opening side door and a lower door with working turnkey lock, are all in excellent condition. The brass bezel retains its tab and lock.

Richard Marsh of Birmingham worked at High St, New St. and Union Passage from 1863-1910.

There is a plate to the backbox with the details 'J. Schuler & Son'. They were watchmakers and clockmakers based at 127 City Road in London, operating during the late 19th and early 20th century so this clock has obviously been retailed from this company at some point in its life.

Delivery is available, please enquire for details.

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.

A fusee dial clock features a cone-shaped pulley system driven by a chain or gut line designed to equalise power from the mainspring, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run.

Victorian dial clocks were typically constructed with solid oak or mahogany surrounds, cast brass bezels holding glass covers, and painted iron dials over heavy brass movements.

Positioning a circular oak wall clock on a neutral painted accent wall or within a home study creates a clean, architectural focal point that bridges traditional and contemporary decor.

Mount the clock level on a sturdy wall fixing, wind it smoothly using a correct-fitting winding key, and keep the timber casing away from high humidity or direct heating elements.
