Fusee Dial Wall Clock, Striking, Excellent Condition

19th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Clockwise is pleased to offer for your consideration this fine and rare Georgian rosewood and brass inlaid extremely rare striking eight day fusee wall clock made by the Atkins clockmaking dynasty of London. The recently overhauled movement strikes on a lovely bell and is contained within a solid deep and 17 inch wide case with a decorative solid panel to one side and a decorative opening door to the other. With a lower and a rear door this revived case has plenty of access points and a lovely patina to it with stabilising hooks fitted to steady the clock for winding. The dial has been lovingly refurbished and is twelve inches in diameter with a lovely pair of original blued hands to finish off the striking appearance. Framed by the original brass bezel (which has a locking catch inside the case) and flat glass this handsome clock is an unusual and glorious find. In fact I am struggling to spot another striking version of this piece. Coming with my three year guarantee as standard this beautiful clock also provides peace of mind.

Biography: Samuel Elliot Atkins was born in 1807 and was apprenticed to his Father from a young age. He became a member of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers of the city of London in 1831 and was also elected member of the Court of Common Council for Cornhill, becoming Deputy of the ward in 1865. The family were prodigious clockmakers from the 1750's right up until 1918.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with global clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

FAQs

A fusee dial wall clock features a cone-shaped pulley system designed to equalize the force of the mainspring, maintaining precise timekeeping as the spring unwinds. Popularised in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Britain, these clocks were widely used in commercial, naval, and public settings due to their mechanical reliability.

Regency period fusee clock cases typically feature rich hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often decorated with intricate brass inlay or marquetry. The movement comprises brass plates, steel arbors, and a cast brass bezel framing a painted iron dial face.

Authentic fusee movements are characterised by heavy brass plates, a gut or chain-driven fusee cone, and hand-cut gears rather than modern stamped components. Painted iron dials from the era frequently show fine craquelure, authentic hand-drawn Roman numerals, and maker signatures indicating the location of manufacture.

Mount the clock as a focal point on a neutral or dark backdrop in an entryway, study, or above a sideboard to highlight its metallic inlays and woodwork. Pairing historical horological pieces with clean, modern architectural lines creates a structured contrast.

Dust the case gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid placing the clock near direct heat sources or humid areas that cause timber expansion. Periodically apply a high-grade beeswax polish to nourish the wood, taking care not to snag or lift any delicate brass inlay work.
