Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This nineteenth-century Victorian mantel clock comes in black slate with brass, enamel, and glass components. The dark rectangular body stands upon a wide stepped base with panelled details, rising to fluted sides and a projecting top moulding. The front presents a glazed aperture framed by an engraved gold-coloured ormolu plate, enclosing two stacked circular enamel dials. The upper dial shows roman numerals and a visible brocot escapement, while the lower calendar dial features painted floral motifs around subsidiary dials and a moon phase display. The piece measures 46 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. Suitable for a gentleman's library or study, the clock sits upon any mantelpiece, side table, or shelf. The bold dark finish and metallic contrast provide a strong decorative presence within a traditional room setting. Collectors of nineteenth-century horology will find the dual dials and visible mechanical escapement offer both visual interest and practical timekeeping utility. The compact footprint allows placement in both principal reception rooms and quieter private studies without dominating the surrounding furniture.

FAQs

A nineteenth-century slate perpetual calendar clock is a mechanical timepiece encased in dark slate or marble, featuring an additional calendar mechanism that automatically accounts for the varying lengths of months and leap years.

These timepieces were typically crafted using dense Belgian black slate or Nero Marquina marble, fitted with brass movements, hand-engraved gilded brass or bronze faceplates, and enamelled dials with glass covers.

Authentic period examples exhibit significant physical weight due to the solid stone casing, along with hand-engraved gilt detailing, traditional pendulum-driven mechanical movements, and aged patina on the brass components.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantelpiece, executive office desk, or dark wood sideboard, balanced with minimalist brass accessories or framed monochrome prints.

Dust the slate casing regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply small amounts of mineral oil or specialist marble polish to restore its deep luster, while having the mechanical movement professionally serviced every five years.
