About the Item

This is a most pleasing English fusee dial clock of small size and excellent quality by T.W. Smith , Fenchurch St , London having been recently sourced from an elderly private client who has owned the clock for many years. This clock is of elegant proportions having a convex cream dial of only 8 inches in diameter and a cast bezel. The dial is signed by the maker and the original blued steel hands are beautifully made. The substantial 8 day duration fusee movement has shouldered plates which would date the clock circa 1830-1840 whereas the majority of this type of clock are made 50 years later. The movement is in perfect order having been recently serviced and has the unusual feature of the winding square located at 9 o'clock. The case is veneered in mahogany with fine brass inlay to the front. The color and finish are excellent. I welcome any expert appraisal whatsoever. Obviously, any potential clients are very welcome to view the clock prior to purchase (or pay on delivery)to ensure that they are satisfied with their purchase This clock is 9 1/2 inches (total) in diameter 5 inches deep .The width at the trunk is only 6 3/4 inches?. The overall height is 13 1/4 inches. The condition is excellent and the finish is as good as anyone can possibly expect and has wonderful colour. There are some age related marks as you would expect on any item which is almost 200 years old but nothing else worth mentioning specifically. It is ready to hang straight on the wall. The dial groundwork is original with a couple of minor imperfections professionally restored to a high standard The proportions are perfect and is worthy of gracing the wall of the most discerning collector. Hopefully the images will show show interested parties all they need to see but prospective buyers are very welcome to view. This clock is much nicer in the flesh as my photographic skills are very poor.
