Clockwise Antique Clocks

Description

Clockwise is delighted to welcome into its collection a lovely restored North Eastern Railway fusee wall clock dating from circa 1900. The eight day fusee rectangular plate (with shaped shoulders) anchor escapement movement has just benefitted from a full overhaul so the clock enjoys a three year guarantee.

The 10 inch dial is in excellent condition and bears the legend B.R (E) 3385. Records show this clock located at Chesterfield Central Goods in the Weighbridge Office. Chesterfield Central was originally part of the Great Central Railway (GCR) which was absorbed into the London and Northeastern railway (LNER) in the grouping of 1923 it was previously assigned to N.E.R as clock number 455.

Original spade hands behind a spun brass bezel with site ring, which retains its tab for security, complete the impressive appearance.

The mahogany dish-shaped case is of standard two piece pegged construction and there are two side inspection doors with tabs and a lower door which closes and locks securely with its original lock. The case also benefits from stabilising hooks to the bottom.

This smaller size railway clock is an increasingly rare find and in superb condition - genuine railway clocks are becoming ever more scarce so enjoy this clock whilst you can.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with global 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.
