Twin Fusee, Bell Striking, London, Drop-dial Wall Clock.

19th century
For Sale by Masons Antiques
Description

This is a beautiful quality, rosewood, drop-dial wall clock by Brockbanks of London. He is recorded in Loomes "Clock Makers of the World" as working in London in the early 19th Century.

The beautiful rosewood case retains it's original French-polished finish and has a marvellous age related patina. An octagonal surround to the 12" round dial and with glazed lenticle through which the pendulum can be seen working. It has inspection doors to the sides and a key lockable door to the underside.

The 8 day, twin-fusee movement strikes the hours on a bell with a lovely crisp strike. It has just been fully overhauled by our Bhi registered staff and carries our usual 12mths full parts and labour guarantee.

The 12", white painted dial has black Roman numerals and is clearly signed with the makers name.

Bell striking wall clocks are quite rare and this is a classic example of these much sought after pieces.

We accept all card payments

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A drop-dial clock features a circular dial face positioned above an extended lower timber casing, known as the drop or trunk, which houses the pendulum and mechanical movement.

These clocks were typically constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, brass bezels, glass covers, and painted iron dials with steel and brass movement components.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut gears, brass fusee cones with gut line or steel chain, original painted dials with minor age crazing, and hand-carved timber cases.

A mahogany wall clock functions as a focal point in a hallway, office, or dining room, providing architectural interest when hung against neutral painted walls.

Keep the clock level on a secure wall away from heat sources, wind the movement gently using the correct size key, and dust the exterior with a dry cloth.
