19th century
Description

Antique Gilt Bronze Single Chain Fusee Clock Featuring A Cherub Reaching For Birds In A Tree By Baetens London.

This stunning single fusee clock has a gilt bronze case with a square base featuring an ormolu mount to the front and four round feet. The clock then sits in a wonderful gilt bronze tree case in stunning detail with three, small, gilt bronze birds sitting on its branches. The case then features a beautiful bronze cherub appearing to be reaching for the birds which sets the piece off fantastically.

The dial is then gilt bronze and set out in Roman numerals. It also features a lovely patterned centre as well as a stunning, intricately patterned surround. The dial is then finished by two lovely, thin shaped hands.

The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It comes complete with its pendulum and winding key and ticks away as it should. The movement is then a chain fusee example of the upmost quality and is signed to both the back, and inside of the front plate by the maker “F. BAETENS 23 GERRARD ST LONDON”.

Baetens was one of the finest clockmakers in early 19th century England, and was known to have be working in London from 1814 -30.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

These timepieces feature sculpted decorative figures, such as mythological subjects or naturalistic scenes, crafted in gilt and patinated bronze, surrounding a mechanical clock movement.

Craftsmen combined cast bronze, fire-gilded ormolu finish, brass clock plates, steel arbor components, and enamelled or engraved brass dials supported by sturdy plinths.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased metalwork details, original gilding with age-appropriate oxidation, and maker-stamped or hand-signed mechanical movements inside the case.

Place the clock centrally on a chimney piece, marble sideboard, or dark wood executive desk to create a focal point against neutral backdrop walls.

Clean the exterior using a dry, soft microfibre cloth without abrasive chemical polishes, and ensure the mechanical clockwork is professionally serviced every five to seven years.
