Unusual, Small & Rare Fusee Wall Clock by Lambert English Wall Clock Mahogany %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A good quality and possibly unique mahogany wall clock by Lambert of London.

The substantial 8 day duration, chain fusee timepiece movement with knopped pillars, Harrison's maintaining power and ratchet-toothed, side lever, English platform escapement. The movement retains its original lacquer and also, what I believe to be its original cast brass, English style winding key.

Behind a 5 1/2" diameter (visible) painted dial. The off-white background having a black outer divided minute track and inner, Roman hour numerals. It bears the maker's name of "LAMBERT, Coventry Street, LONDON" above and below the centre hole. When the bezel is opened a graduated regulation scale is revealed above the XII numeral. The cut hands are blued steel.

Contained in a solidly made, octagonal shaped mahogany case with a well-figured front. The surround edge moulding is inlaid with silver plated brass strip inlay and the inner boundary has similar but thinner stringing. The dial is behind a silver plated, cast brass, hinged and locking bezel with thick bevelled glass. The 8 sides of the case drum are plain mahogany, the bottom panel has a hinged and locking flush door. The back of the case has a removable locking panel to the centre and flush-fitted, hinged brass fixing plates to the top and bottom edges.

George Lambert was in business as a Silversmith, Jeweller and Antiques Dealer at 12, Coventry Street, London from 1861 until 1901.

Electro plating was invented in the 1830's and brought to perfection in 1840.

Dimensions9 1/2" high and wide and 6 1/4" deep. Category Antique Clocks Date 1870  19th Century Antiques Material Mahogany Origin English Maker Lambert Condition The movement is well-maintained and in good working order but would benefit from a full service/overhaul to ensure good running and accurate timekeeping. The hands and dial are very good as is the bezel but this requires a small repair to the tab and also, the glass has a scratch running down it (this can be replaced). The case has a lovely colour and has never been re-polished, there is a small area of missing veneer over the bezel lock which is a simple matter to rectify also, a small chip to the front which can also be easily repaired. The case shows signs of usage and age and the silver plating is worn in areas. All of the locks are original and working with their original keys, including the winding key. On the whole, this totally original small clock is in great and unmolested condition. Item code as1197a096 / AA 14502 Status For Sale
