J. Beckett of London, Early Wall Clock

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

An interesting early wall clock by the maker J.Beckett of London, this is a transitional 'dial' clock with a pegged back box and anchor escapement instead of 'Verge'. The clock still retains the Salt Box shaped lower apron, shaped cast bezel, silvered, engraved dial and original shaped fusee movement on a gut line. The overall appearance of the clock is very good, the mahogany case has good colour, the glass is convex, the dial has been carefully restored back to a silvered finish and the movement has been fully overhauled in our workshops (on site) and as you can see from the 'close up' pictures.

There is a J.Beckett of London recorded working circa 1700. The J.Beckett who made this clock would have been working circa 1790 so maybe the son ? We have a few more books to search through which we will do in the coming week. Circa 1800-1810.

We are also in the process of restoring another early silvered dial wall clock with Verge escapement if it's a Verge escapement you are looking for.

FAQs

An English dial clock is a circular wall-mounted timekeeper featuring a clear painted face framed by a wooden surround and brass bezel. Popularised during the Georgian and Victorian eras, these mechanical clocks were widely used in public institutions, offices, and residences across Britain.

Traditional dial wall clocks were constructed using solid mahogany or oak surrounds, cast brass bezels with glass covers, painted iron or wooden dials, and brass mechanical movements driven by fusee or spring mechanisms.

Authentic pieces feature cast brass bezels, hand-painted lettering on the dial often featuring maker names and locations, heavy brass fusee movements, and hand-turned wooden cases with authentic age-related patina on the timber.

A large circular wall clock serves as a strong architectural focal point when positioned above a hallway console table, a fireplace mantel, or a sideboard. The rich timber tones contrast well against contemporary neutral wall paint.

Maintain the clock by winding the movement regularly using the correct key, keeping it level on the wall, and having the mechanical movement professionally cleaned and oiled every five to seven years. Avoid placing the clock near direct heat sources or damp environments.
