Description

Clockwise is proud to present yet another high quality drop dial early Victorian fusee wall clock. The octagonal rosewood case is inlaid with mother of pearl and pegged in the traditional manner to the main body of the case, the lower portion also being inlaid with mother of pearl with the original pierced fruiting vines flanking a frosted glass window for pendulum viewing. There is an inspection door to each side of the upper case and a door to the lower case with a working lock and key.

The twelve inch dial has been extensively yet sympathetically restored and bears the name of the little-known 'J W Sharp, Parade, Birmingham'. This address lies within the jewellery quarter so it is a safe assumption this was a retailer of quality goods. The dial is stamped 'Fletcher' to the rear and this is likely to be the distinguished clockmaker and dial maker John Wright Fletcher listed as making dials between 1841-1850 in Birmingham. Underneath this stamp is a repairers mark from 1885.

The four pillar eight day rack-striking movement has shaped shoulders and has just benefitted from a complete overhaul and retains its original pendulum. The movement is covered by my three year guarantee as standard.

Delivery is available, please enquire for details.

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.

This early Victorian drop dial wall clock dates from 1850. The dark brown rosewood octagonal case holds a twelve-inch white dial featuring black Roman numerals, minute tracks, and the retailer signature J. W. Sharp of Parade, Birmingham. Decorative mother-of-pearl foliate inlay embellishes both the upper octagonal surround and the lower drop box, accompanied by carved wooden scroll brackets flanking the case. A brass-framed glass window sits in the lower drop portion above further mother-of-pearl decoration. Side inspection doors with brass hinges provide access to the mechanical parts. Measuring 58.5 cm high, 43 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, this timepiece suits narrow wall spaces in a home study, hallway, or gentleman's library. Hanging securely on a vertical surface, it provides functional timekeeping while displaying traditional Victorian design details.

FAQs

A fusee drop dial wall clock is a traditional timepiece featuring a cone-shaped pulley system designed to equalise the pull of the mainspring, housed in a wooden case with an extended lower trunk below the circular dial to accommodate the pendulum movement.

These timepieces were typically constructed using solid hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or oak, often decorated with mother-of-pearl or brass marquetry inlays alongside cast brass bezels and painted iron dials.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples feature heavy brass fusee clockwork driven by gut line or steel chain, hand-painted metal dials displaying Roman numerals, and period-correct joinery with hand-cut dovetails and natural shellac finishes.

Mounting a dark rosewood timepiece against a light or deeply toned painted wall creates an anchor point in a hallway, home office, or dining area, contrasting historic horological mechanics with modern furniture silhouettes.

To preserve the timber and movement, position the clock away from direct sunlight and radiators, clean the wood occasionally with specialized wax polish, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
