Regency Drop Dial Fusee Wall Clock

Clockwise is delighted to present for your consideration a fine example of a Regency drop-dial fusee wall clock with the much preferred convex dial. These are becoming increasingly difficult to source in excellent condition such as this example. The recently overhauled and cleaned eight day duration fusee timepiece movement has an anchor recoil escapement, knopped pillars and shouldered plates - all features to be expected of a clock of this period and quality. It comes complete with its original pendulum and a specialist fusee 'butterfly' key. The convex twelve inch painted iron dial is in stunning condition and adorned with the maker 'Turner and Sons, Sutton and Surbiton'. Restored to a high standard the dial is complimented by original spade hands beneath the original cast brass bezel and glass. The case is a standard two-piece design with the narrow surround, typical of the period, attaching to the back box via four matching wooden pegs. Adorned with fan ears the flame mahogany veneered trunk has brass inlay to the centre and brass/boxwood inlay to the lower curved area which houses the curved and cockbeaded locking door. There is an access door to the right flank of the clock. Turner & Sons were a top quality family dynasty and research shows over a dozen newspaper adverts promoting their high-class wares dating back to the Regency period. 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. There are a few similar clocks on the market, similarly priced yet unrestored, so this piece represents great value for money and also peace of mind, coming as it does with my three year guarantee.
