Lancs/yorks Railway Oak Fusee Drop Dial Clock

19th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

For your consideration I am delighted to offer this extremely fine example of railwayana history. This very rare English eight day wire-driven fusee wall clock is in fabulous condition and exudes quality in every aspect. Supplied to Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway circa 1870 this clock has lived through multiple changes including the grouping of 1923 when it was incorporated into the L.M.S and in 1948 when the railways were nationalised.

The recently serviced eight day fusee movement has rectangular plates with an anchor escapement and has been fully overhauled so benefits from my three year guarantee.

The golden oak case has fantastic colour and patination since its restoration with a lovely sheen to it. The eight piece segmented wooden surround holds the locking brass bezel complete with sight ring and the lower door retains its working lock and key. Being a high-quality piece there are two long side doors to the case back box.

The 12 inch iron painted dial is a particular feature of this lovely clock and has the original LYR lettering and 1765 painted to the dial. The handsome appearance is finished by the original hands.

The brass oval plaque from this clock's last posting is to the side of the case and is designated as British Rail (Midlands) 18395. The clock comes with a key and original highly polished pendulum.

This is a truly stunning and rare clock in gorgeous condition, genuinely there are virtually none around of this style, and it’s one of many fusee clocks I have coming onto the market.

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 drop dial fusee wall clock is a traditional British timepiece featuring a circular dial mounted above a extended lower wooden casing, or drop trunk, which houses the pendulum. The internal fusee mechanism utilizes a conical pulley to equalize the power output of the mainspring as it unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping.

Victorian commercial and railway clocks were typically constructed with solid or veneered hardwood cases, most commonly oak or mahogany. Dials were made of painted sheet metal with hand-painted numerals, protected by heavy brass bezels fitted with clear glass panels.

Authentic railway wall clocks usually feature official company initials or inventory numbers hand-painted on the dial or stamped into the wooden casing and movement. Original models feature heavy cast brass bezels, key-wound fusee movements, and evidence of historic maintenance marks inside the case.

Position the clock as a focal point on a neutral wall, such as above a hallway console, desk, or chimney breast. The warm wood tones and utilitarian industrial styling allow these timepieces to complement both traditional period homes and contemporary minimalist spaces.

Keep the clock level and securely mounted to avoid disrupting the pendulum beat. Winding should be performed regularly using the correct key size, and the internal mechanical movement should be cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
