English Double Chain Fusee Bracket Clock
This distinguished English double chain fusee bracket clock, crafted in 1875, embodies the era’s refined elegance and precision engineering.
At the heart of the clock lies an 8-day double fusee movement, meticulously engineered to maintain a consistent force on the gear trains, enhancing accuracy. The movement features a tuned gong strike to mark each passing hour. A hand-engraved and silvered square dial adorns the clock face, exuding timeless sophistication, and signed Webster, Queen Victoria Street, London. Roman numerals display the time, and beautifully engraved scrollwork spandrels add a touch of decorative adornment. The case is crafted of warm, rich Pollard oak with an elegant pediment top and an ogee-molded base. The choice of such a premium cut of wood would have made this an expensive clock to produce in its day, which speaks to the aesthetic preferences and highlights the clock’s status as a luxurious object of the era.
This fabulous English bracket clock blends sophisticated design with precision engineering, standing as a testament to the enduring allure of Victorian-era craftsmanship and elegance.
This clock bears a complete restoration and a one-year warranty.
