English Fusee Drop-Dial Wall Clock by Barraud
A very good example of a mahogany drop dial wall clock with a wooden dial.
The eight day duration, gut fusee movement with Anchor Recoil escapement, four knopped pillars and shouldered plates. Also having a decorative lyre shaped crutch and a substantial pendulum.
Fitted to a 12" diameter wooden dial by using a brass 'false ring'. The dial which is separate to the surround has its original cream and now crackled base paint, black minute ring and Roman hour numerals and also, the maker's signature bearing "BARRAUD, Cornhill, LONDON" to the upper centre. The blued steel hands are quite fine the hour of which has a spade end. The cast brass, locking bezel has a bowed glass.
The mahogany veneered case consists of a very narrow and moulded dial surround over a well-figured drop trunk which has brass inlay in a simple symmetrical angular design. It is flanked by fan 'ears' with a shaped corbel and is divided from the rounded bottom by a fluted moulding to the front and sides. The convex bottom also has brass line inlay which has floral circles to the corners. It also has a locking and cockbeaded curved door. Both plain sides have access doors.
This is a good example of a wooden-dialled Regency style wall clock in both its condition and originality. It is of good colour throughout. The Barraud family were a Clockmaking dynasty and were known for producing fine quality clocks.
