Fusee Wall Clock with History

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

Here we have a rather interesting timepiece. The case is made of Walnut with a highly figured front panel. The clock has the usual lower convex door held with a lock and key and side door held with a latch, but what's interesting is the fact that this clock was in the offices of De La Rue, a company which is still going strong today and who printed our British bank notes. The label shows it was taken from the Transfer dept for servicing by Thwaites & Reed of Bowling Green lane, EC1. The offices of De La Rue were in Bunhill Row, London . The clock features a fully overhauled single 'fusee' movement with long brass rod pendulum and Bob. Overall the clock has a pleasant warm colour and is ready to grace any interior, classic or contemporary. Sold with a full 24 month guarantee.

A fusee wall clock utilises a cone-shaped pulley and chain mechanism designed to equalise the force of the mainspring as it unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run. Popularised in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries, these clocks were widely used in public spaces, offices, and private residences.

Traditional English fusee wall clocks feature cases constructed from solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, paired with cast brass bezels and painted iron dials displaying Roman numerals.

Authentic fusee clocks can be identified by inspecting the mechanical movement for a brass fusee cone and chain, hand-cut brass gears, a heavy brass bezel with a latch mechanism, and micro-craquelure on the painted dial face.

A mahogany fusee wall clock serves as a clear focal point in contemporary spaces, pairing well with neutral paint palettes, minimalist shelving, or traditional timber joinery in an entryway, hallway, or home office.

Keep the clock away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent the timber casing from drying or warping. The brass bezel can be dusted with a clean microfibre cloth, while mechanical movements require periodic professional servicing by a qualified horologist.
