Wall Clock: Exceptional 12” English Fusee Dial Timepiece by Henry Shearer 1881

We present for consideration, this exceptional fusee wall clock with 12” dial, by maker Henry Shearer of Liverpool. Born 1851 in Liverpool, Henry Shearer passed his apprenticeship in clockmaking and by 1880 was living and working from 264 Park Road, Toxteth, Liverpool, from where this clock would have been made. By 1894 however, his professional success and high quality craftmanship had allowed him to open new larger outlets at 251A Park Road and 69-71 Lark Lane, both in the Toxteth area of Liverpool. The clocks turned roundhead face and boxed cabinet is made of deeply grained Mahogany, with a hinged inspection door located on the side of the box and a turn catch hinged regulator door to the bottom of the box. The clock retains its original metal dial with black Roman numerals and Shearers details, finished with its original pair of blued Spade hands, secured with a pinned collet. The clocks dial is then protected by a thick glaze mounted in a brass bezel. The clock benefits from a fabulous high quality 8-day single fusee chain driven movement set between 4mm thick shouldered plates and knopped pillars and comes with its original 75mm diameter brass pendulum bob and a brass winding key.
