Antique Single Fusee Gilt Ormolu Clock with Cherub Henry Berkeley Square London

19th century
Description

Antique Single Fusee Gilt Ormolu Clock With Cherub Henry Berkeley Square London.

This superb antique single fusee clock has a gilt ormolu case with a sunning drum shaped movement housing to the top. This housing is then held by a beautiful kneeling cherub giving the clock a truly unique and beautiful look. The cherub then sits on a stunning, shaped marble base with a fantastic orange colour. The pendulum is then an external example so can by seen ticking when the clock is running.

The dial is then gilt bronze and set out in black Roman numerals with a thin ring of dashes to the outside marking the minutes. The centre of the dial then has a beautiful engine turned pattern. The dial then has an intricately shaped surround which frames the dial perfectly. Finally the dial has two finely shaped fingers that finish the dial with a same quality as the rest of the clock.

The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. The movement is a single fusee example of the upmost quality and comes complete with its regulating pendulum and winding key. The movement ticks away as it should. Finally the movement is engraved to the back by the maker “HENRY Berkeley Sq”re London” to show that the clock was made by Henry Berkeley Square London.

A truly rare opportunity to buy a totally unique antique clock of the upmost quality. Would look fantastic in any home or as part of a larger collection.

- 11” / 28cm Tall.

- 5” / 12.75cm Wide.

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.
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.
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.

A single fusee figural mantel clock combines a spring-driven clock movement with a cone-shaped pulley system designed to equalise mainspring power, housed within a decorative sculptural body that frequently depicts classical figures or cherubs.

Ormolu clocks traditionally feature gilded bronze or brass components paired with dark patinated metals and solid marble or alabaster plinths to create contrasting visual textures.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast metalwork, an engine-turned brass or gilded dial, maker signatures engraved on the movement or dial face, and a chain- or gut-driven fusee cone mechanism.

Position the clock as a focal decorative element atop a fireplace mantelpiece, marble console table, or structured bookshelf to introduce classical balance and historical interest.

Dust the exterior gently with a soft dry brush, avoid abrasive chemical polishes on gilded or patinated finishes, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
