Wall Clock: Exquisite 1835 English Fusee Drop Dial Timepiece by William Windle

A superb fusee drop dial timepiece from the late Regency period, by master clockmaker William Windle of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham. Windle was born in Yorkshire in 1807 and is recorded as being a watch and clockmaker, jeweller, and silversmith, and worked from 69 High Street, Stockton, passing away in 1863. The clock is in immaculate condition and excellent working order. • Beautiful hand-crafted cabinet work, incorporating a scarce combination of solid light Walnut turned roundhead face over a dark Mahogany drop box, both with excellent patination. • Case embellishment includes brass stringing intarsia, and a shaped front visible pendulum glazed aperture. The case also retains its original finely hand-carved fan shaped side-ears. • Hinged side inspection door. • Hinged regulator door to the bottom of the box. • Original metal dial with black painted Roman numerals and Windle’s details. • Original pair of blued spade hands secured with a pinned collet. • Thick glaze mounted in its solid brass bezel. • Quality 8-day single fusee driven movement with shouldered plates and knopped pillars. • Comes with its original brass pendulum rod and bob. During its 180+ years of existence, this magnificent clock has clearly been well-cared for given its impeccable overall condition. It is an outstanding early 19th Century English crafted timepiece!
