Antique Dial Clock (Circa 1860) - J Rayno(e)r of Sandwich, Kent.

A particularly nice example of a mahogany cased, mid 19th century, 8 day dial clock: sensitively restored and in full working order.

The beautifully turned pillars within the original handmade fusee movement were in fashion in the 1860's: which corresponds with the makers dates of 1839-1861.

The mahogany surround, due to its age and careful previous ownership, is now a desirable and attractive warm honey colour. The cast brass bezel and convex glass both are both indicators of quality.

It is very common for inaccuracies to appear in the spelling of makers names on dials: 'J Raynor' is inscribed on the dial where as 'J Rayner' would have been the correct spelling according to 'Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World' by Brian Loomes.

The many inscriptions to the reverse of the dial reveal its horological past: J Woodruff of nearby Margate was a clockmaker and can be seen by the inscription to have serviced this clock on a number of occasions. Culvertons clock restorer has recently serviced this intersting clock.
