Arundel Clocks has dated this piece to the 1880s.
I have for sale a beautiful double fusee dial clock made in London by Thwaites & Reed I would date this clock to around 1880, with a mega rare 18” inch original dial in a solid mahogany wood case this would have cost mega money in the day.
The clock movement is simply stunning I have never seen such a well-built movement thick plates and a five-pillar movement, I have serviced the movement it is signed on the back by the retailer and on the front plate T&R 10091.
The Case
The case is in solid mahogany wood and stands 56cm High and x20cm in depth. It is in original condition well waxed and loved over the years and presented to you in beautiful condition ready to hang and enjoy.
The case is very old and has a few small age-related dings but you would have to look very close to see they looks great on the wall and so different.
To the top of the clock is the steel hanging bracket.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition 45.5 cm or 18” inches in old money across painted white with Roman numerals and covered by glass in a mega heavy cast brass bezel with beveled glass you need a strong arm to lift it up.
The dial is signed Thwaites & Reed London 10091.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strikes double fusee it is a thick plated heavy built movement which I have fully serviced.
The fusee barrels are run via original chains; she still retains the original solid cast pendulum and winding key.
The strike is on a massive gong inside the case and sounds amazing as it resonates out of the old case.
This movement is of top quality with a five-pillar movement.
On top of the movement is a strike /silent lever to stop the clock striking if required.
Overall if you are looking for a double fusee English dial clock from the 1800s this is the one it is simply stunning and will keep serving for many years to come I wish these clocks could talk about what a story this one would have to tell.
If you require any more information or pictures please ask you are welcome to come and view the clock.
I will not post but might use any van to deliver so I ask for half this cost.
