Bracket Clock Fusee Chain Driven Strike (Pull/repeat), Aberystwyth

19th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Dating from circa 1860 this chain driven twin fusee clock is in gorgeous condition. The case, dial and movement have all just been restored and this imposing clock is now ready for its new home. The eight day movement is in fine condition and can be viewed through the original bevelled edge glass to each side of the case. At 46 cms high the mahogany case has a sweeping top with applied scrolling foliage surrounding the 21 cms dial, complimented by original spade hands, has the original spelling of 'Aberystwith' and the maker's name, James Truscott. This clock also benefits from retaining the original business leaflet and is an unexpected bonus feature of this lovely piece. The rack striking movement has shouldered plates and a working pull/repeat function and the bell is a lovely tone striking the full hour on the hour. Being a superior piece the adjustment on the pendulum is via a top rating nut rather than the more common fiddly assembley under the pendulum. The solid brass bezel containing the original bevelled glass is opened by a working push button on the side and this lovely clock comes with my three year guarantee as standard.

This Victorian bracket clock originates from circa 1860 and follows a traditional mantelpiece design. The warm brown mahogany case possesses a sweeping top and a stepped plinth base, supported by block feet. Deeply carved acanthus leaves and floral rosettes adorn both the upper crest and the lower section beneath the dial. A polished brass bezel frames the off-white dial, which displays black Roman numerals, the maker's inscription, and original dark spade hands. Two winding holes flank the central hands, while a small side latch secures the glass door. The timber exhibits a smooth waxed finish with visible grain patterns running vertically across the front panel. Measuring 46 cm high, the clock fits securely upon a living room mantelpiece, a study bookcase, or a hallway console table in a traditional or period home interior.

FAQs

A fusee bracket clock is a spring-driven mechanical clock featuring a conical pulley system designed to equalize the torque of the mainspring as it winds down. Originating in seventeenth-century Britain, these clocks were historically placed on dedicated wall brackets or high mantels to showcase their intricate casing and reliable timekeeping.

Victorian bracket clocks typically featured solid wood cases made from mahogany, walnut, or oak, often decorated with hand-carved floral motifs or acanthus leaves. Dial components included cast brass bezels, silvered or painted dial plates, and blued steel hands set behind glass protection.

Authentic nineteenth-century bracket clocks feature heavy brass movements, chain or gut fusee mechanisms, and hand-cut joinery in the wooden casing. Look for maker signatures on the dial face, correct period numerical formatting such as Roman numerals, and natural patination across metal and timber surfaces.

An antique bracket clock creates a grounding focal point when situated atop a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or executive desk. Pair the rich wood tones with neutral backdrop hues or dark academia tones like forest green and navy to emphasize the silhouette and craftsmanship.

Keep mechanical clocks away from direct heat sources and sudden temperature fluctuations to prevent timber movement and lubricant drying. Wind the movement consistently using the correct size key, and arrange professional horological servicing every five to seven years to clean and re-oil the gears.
