Large Early 'Wooden Dial' Wall Clock - Camerer Cuss

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

A fine and quite rare wall clock with an interesting history. We recently purchased this and another clock from a good customer in London who worked at Holborn Town Hall. The history...This wall clock hung in Holborn Town Hall which is a beautiful building in the French Renaissance style built in 1879. The building was originally a Library and we know this clock was in a small room off the entrance area. It's a late Georgian clock circa 1810. Camerer Cuss were just around the corner on Oxford Street and we could guess that they either supplied the clock or looked after it and restored it over the years. Holborn town hall was moved to a more 'modern' 1970's style building opposite King's Cross Station and the beautiful building near the end of Oxford Street was sold to a private company. You can view the Old Town Hall on Google maps. The clock or 'timepiece' - as it's not a striking clock, is one of the best we have ever offered for sale. The movement has been fully overhauled and the case tidied and waxed. A point of note is the very domed dial and matching convex glass. A rare example and best viewed in our shop.

When considering an antique clock for your home it is worth looking into who has restored it. We restore all our clocks and fully strip down the movements so we can be sure they will work for many years and give our 24 month guarantee. We are members of the B.H.I (British Horological Institute) and we were chosen by Salvage Hunters TV to restore clocks for them. We are now in our 43 year! at the same address and are now into our third generation. We are also members of the Watch and Clockmakers Guild.

FAQs

An English dial clock is a wall-mounted timepiece featuring a prominent circular face, historically constructed with a brass bezel and a mahogany or oak wooden surround enclosing a mechanical movement.

19th-century wall clocks were commonly constructed using flame mahogany or oak for the outer casing, painted iron or wood for the dial, cast brass for the bezel rim, and blown glass.

Authentic pieces feature painted surfaces that display natural micro-crazing or crackle to the paint layer, hand-painted maker details, period-correct Roman numerals, and cast brass hinges.

A drop dial clock serves as a strong focal point when hung above a hallway console table, positioned within a study library wall, or mounted above a living room mantlepiece.

Keep the casing away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, dust the dial glass gently with a soft dry cloth, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a horologist every five to seven years.
