Wall Clock: Immaculate 12” English Fusee Dial Timepiece by Samuel Hume 1870

We present for consideration, this immaculate fusee wall clock with 12” dial, by maker Samuel Hume of 17 Elvet Bridge, Durham. **(Nb: He was probably still working in 1902, aged 64, given that his name appears in a local trade directory of the time)** The clocks turned roundhead face and boxed cabinet are made of lovely solid golden Oak, 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 clocks metal dial has black Roman numerals and Hume’s 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 quality 8-day single fusee chain driven movement set between concentrically snailed rectangular plates with and turned pillars and comes with its original 73mm diameter brass pendulum bob and a brass winding key. A superb wall clock from a well-respected and provincial North-East of England clockmaker. One who hailed from a strong clockmaking family dynasty and heritage.
