What is a fusee movement in an antique wall clock?

A fusee is a conical pulley used in mechanical clocks to maintain an even pull on the gear train as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping.

What materials were traditionally used to construct school wall clocks?

These clocks typically feature solid mahogany or oak cases with brass bezels, metal dials, and hand-painted or engraved roman numerals.

How should an antique wall clock be styled in a contemporary interior?

Mount the clock as a focal point on a plain, neutral wall in a hallway or study to highlight its traditional craftsmanship against a modern backdrop.

What is the correct maintenance procedure for a fusee wall clock?

The mechanical movement requires professional oiling and servicing every three to five years, while the wooden case should be dusted gently with a dry, soft cloth.

Description

DESCRIPTION:

This is a wonderful an SOLID mahogany cased fusee wall clock which has a rare brass dial which is engraved GR V for George V. The movement to this clock is excellent being a very good quality fusee movement.

THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC FUSEE CLOCK.

The case is made from wonderful SOLID mahogany which has some superb grain and is a wonderful colour. The case has a wonderful patina which can only be gained through age. The door to the base of the clock has a catch as does the side door.

If we start with the dial this is a rare brass dial marked out with Roman numerals. The bezel is brass. There is also a catch for closing and releasing the dial.

The case also has a door to the base and then there is a further door to the right side which is held in place with a catch. When the movement needs to be accessed the catch is simply released to the side which then allows the pendulum to be hung easily.

The movement itself is excellent being a single fusee movement, and is nice and clean having been recently cleaned and serviced. The clock is in good working order and is happily ticking away. The clock comes complete with it's winding key and pendulum.

- 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter across the case

- 6 inches (15 cm) deep
