Description

Antique Goverment Issue GRV Single Fusee Mahogany Clock Post Office.

This lovely antique single fusee mantel clock has a rectangular, mahogany case with mouldings to the top and bottom. The case then has four small square feet to each corner of the base. The case then has a hinged back door with its working lock and key as well as a small push button to the left which opens the front door.

The dial is then silvered and set out in black, engraved roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking the minutes. The dial then has two lovely shaped hands and a bevelled, protective glass set into a brass bezel.

The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. It is ticking away as it should and comes complete with its pendulum and winding key. The movement is single fusee and of the upmost quality. The backplate of the movement, as well as the pendulum is then signed “GRV” showing the clock was a government issued piece and due to not having the signature to the dial is believed to have originally been issued to a post office.

It measures approximately:

- 12.5” / 32cm Tall.

A fusee is a conical pulley used in antique clocks to maintain an even tension on the gear train as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping throughout its run.

These clocks typically feature solid mahogany or oak cases, brass bezels and movements, and silvered metal or painted dials protected by glass lenses.

Authenticity is identified by inspecting the hand-engraved details on the fusee movement, the quality of the timber case, and makers signatures or government cyphers stamped on the dial or backplate.

Position the clock as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or study desk to add historic gravitas and warm wood tones to contemporary minimalist or transitional spaces.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, and have the mechanical movement professionally cleaned and oiled every three to five years.
