Masons Antiques has dated this piece to the 1870s.
Double fusee dropdial clocks are much sought after but they don't come along very often.
The clock has a beautifull flame mahogany case with a deep rich colour and patination.
This has a carved surround of vines and grapes.
The chisel base of the case has a lockable door giving access to the pendulum and there are inspection doors to both sides of the backbox of the clock.
The 8 day, double fusee movement has just been fully serviced by our BHI registered staff.
It strikes the hours on a bell with a quite delightfull tone.
The white painted dial has black Roman numerals and nicely cut black hands and a brass bezel. It is signed "Rothery, Halifax". He is recorded as working in "the coal market, Halifax" between 1866-71.
