Clockwise Antique Clocks

Description

For your consideration I am delighted to offer this extremely fine example of railwayana history. This very rare English eight day wire-driven fusee wall clock is in fabulous condition and exudes quality in every aspect. Supplied to Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway circa 1870 this clock has lived through multiple changes including the grouping of 1923 when it was incorporated into the L.M.S and in 1948 when the railways were nationalised.

The recently serviced eight day fusee movement has rectangular plates with an anchor escapement and has been fully overhauled so benefits from my three year guarantee.

The golden oak case has fantastic colour and patination since its restoration with a lovely sheen to it. The eight piece segmented wooden surround holds the locking brass bezel complete with sight ring and the lower door retains its working lock and key. Being a high-quality piece there are two long side doors to the case back box.

The 12 inch iron painted dial is a particular feature of this lovely clock and has the original LYR lettering and 1765 painted to the dial. The handsome appearance is finished by the original hands.

The brass oval plaque from this clock's last posting is to the side of the case and is designated as British Rail (Midlands) 18395. The clock comes with a key and original highly polished pendulum.

This is a truly stunning and rare clock in gorgeous condition, genuinely there are virtually none around of this style, and it’s one of many fusee clocks I have coming onto the market.
