English Dial Clock with Ebonised & Mahogany Case
A late Victorian English dial antique clock with an unusual ebonised dial surround.
The backbox is of mahogany, with hinged side and base access doors. The grain of the dial surround is clearly oak. Oak would have been used in preference to mahogany as the surround was to be ebonised, thus avoiding the unnecessary additional expense of mahogany. There are three pegs to hold the dial/movement assembly to the backbox, two on one side, one on the other.
The 8-day fusee movement has rectangular plates, and is photographed here prior to its overhaul.
The original 12-inch painted dial is signed for George Hammer & Co., 370, Strand, London, a company of school (and church) furnishers.
Spun brass bezel fitted with flat glass.
A notice was placed in the London Gazette on February 9,1894, that the company George Hammer & Co. was dissolved on 2nd December 1893 following the death of Edward John Hammer. The clock therefore pre-dates 1893.
To be overhauled and guaranteed for 3 years. We are proud to be one of the UK’s finest suppliers of high quality Antique Clocks. We are based in Somerset, but also serve the rest of the UK. We are also delighted to have a number of overseas customers.

We are proud to be members of LAPADA, the Association of Art and Antique Dealers.
Carlton Clocks is also a business partner of the British Horological Institute.
Ian has years of experience in restoring and maintaining clocks. He has a particular interest in early electric clocks. You will see from our Electric Clocks catalogue that we also manufacture and supply a small range of parts for Bulle, Eureka and Brillie electric clocks.
The mix of other clocks for sale is limited only by what Ian finds interesting and/or beautiful, aesthetically or mechanically.
