Georgian Convex Dial Fusee Wall Clock, York

Clockwise is delighted to present for your consideration a fine 18th century Georgian eight day fusee timepiece dial clock. Finished in lovely mahogany with the narrow wooden surround typical of its time this is a stunning piece of furniture dating from circa 1783. The photos are of the unfinished clock, many more photos to follow and availability towards the end of November. The case has a lovely patina and is of a standard pegged design with the surround pegged to the back box. The original cast bezel closes and locks firmly and frames the lovely twelve inch convex dial within the turned surround perfectly; elegant, high quality steel hands finish off the glorious appearance. The maker's name is present - John Agar, York. There are two John Agars, this is the work of the son who was apprenticed to his father in 1766 and made Free in 1782 in York. By 1784 he had moved to work in Malton, he pre-deceased his father in 1814. There is both a lower door and side door to the case and the eight day, high-quality movement, which has tapered shoulders to the plates (typical of the period), has just been serviced with new line fitted and comes with my three year worldwide guarantee as standard. An original fusee 'butterfly' key accompanies this rare piece. Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.
