Full Description
This is an exceptional, museum-quality masterpiece of 19th-century British horology: an 8-day English double fusee bracket clock retailed or made by the prestigious maker B. Warwick of Regent Street, London.
Housed in a magnificent solid oak Gothic Revival case, the clock stands an impressive 49cm tall. The architectural cabinet features beautiful pointed arches, carved details, and strong geometric lines that perfectly capture the dramatic Victorian Gothic aesthetic.

The face boasts a highly desirable engraved silvered dial featuring crisp black Roman numerals, elegant hands, and a dedicated Strike/Silent lever near the 12 o’clock position—allowing you to easily mute the mechanism when quiet is preferred.

Behind the dial sits a spectacular, heavy-plate double fusee movement. Unlike single fusee clocks, a double fusee uses two separate chain-driven cones to independently power the timekeeping and the strike train. This complex mechanism strikes the full hour count on a deep, resonant cathedral gong. Combining high mechanical sophistication with elite London provenance, this clock is a true investment piece for serious collectors.
