SOLD $3,150.00 Sold: Dec 31, 2019 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Superb quality English fusee carriage clock, undoubtedly from a London maker. Give or take a few years this was made in 1850. Unlike French carriage clocks which were starting to be mass produced at that time, the English fusee clocks were very expensive and generally made to order by the finest craftsmen; hence they are now very rare. The clock is unsigned but stamped I & S or possibly S & I as both letters can be reversed. This is a very finely made carriage clock. The movement has maintaining power on winding and a superb English lever escapement. The clock runs very well and keeps
