Fabulous Romford Convex Dial Clock

19th century
Sold 12 August 2023 · Its About Time
This “Fabulous Romford Convex Dial Clock” found a buyer.

It was listed by Its About Time. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

These are now hard to find, a truly original and rare 12inch Wall clock-timepiece by William Attwell of Romford who is recorded working from his South Street, Romford address in 1840. He was listed as a clock and watchmaker / jeweller and this fine clock may have hung in that very premises. The clock has just undergone a full restoration of the movement. It is a very high quality and substantial 'Fusee' with heavy brass Bob lead filled pendulum and 12inch convex dial with fine blued steel hands and in our opinion the best style of hands on a wall clock. The mahogany case is in fine condition with locking lower door and ast brass bezel held with a sprung latch. The clock is a great example of Essex clockmaking near to London.

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.
