Georgian Antique 1800 Fusee Mantle Clock

This exquisite Georgian period mantle clock has a satinwood case and brass mounts. Our 80 year old clockmaker says the historic "fusee" type movement dates from 1780-1810.

Entirely hand-made, this superior brass 8 day mechanism has a fusee, or mainspring coiled in a small brass barrel, which pulls a chain, driving the movement. Originally developed in the 1400's, this type of movement was difficult to make, but much more accurate than other movements. Cleaned and oiled, this historic clock is a good runner.

There is a thumb screw to lock the pendulum for transport. The finish has glowing patina, with delicate inlay of a shell and pallisander banding. Keys lock the brass front bezel and back door.

Size of this elegant and sophisticated timepiece is 10" wide, 7" deep and 14" tall.

This charming piece can be shipped safely anywhere in the US. Please contact our local UPS store for a shipping quote.
