Antique Single Chain Fusee Ebonised & Ormolu Mantel Clock By Payne & Co London

£1,195    $1,518    €1,439
Antique Single Chain Fusee Ebonised & Ormulu Mantel Clock Payne & Co London.
 
This stunning antique mantel clock has a black ebonised cased with a lovely “hour glass” shape. The front of the clock then has a wonderful pair of ormolu, gilt brass mounts, as well as four mounts to each corner at the top. The case is then finished by four beautifully shaped “maidens head” feet which set it off fantastically.
 
The dial is then painted and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The dial then appears to have been signed by Payne & Co to the top of the centre although unfortunately this is rubbed away and hard to see. The dial is then has a lovely patterned surround as well as a domed glass set into a brass bezel. Finally the dial is finished by two wonderfully shaped hands.
 
The movement is then accessed from the back and is a single chain fusee example of the upmost quality. It is ticking away as it should and comes complete with its regulating pendulum as well as its winding key. The movement is then engraved to the back by the maker “Payne & Co 163 New Bond St London” to show the clock was made by the reputable William Payne.
