Haley London. c.1810

An elegant Georgian wall clock, the 14" diameter flat wooden dial simply signed 'Haley, London', the fusee movement with shaped plates and heavy knopped pillars fronted by matching brass hands. The mahogany case has a concave moulded brass bezel with integral lock.

Price: £4,600
Stock No.3186 

The dial and surround are turned out of a single piece of mahogany, with a slim cushion moulded edge, and as is often found on early wall clocks, the curved bottom door has no lock, but rather a simple turnbuckle catch.

Charles Haley, a distinguished maker, was apprenticed in 1762, and entered the Clockmakers Company in 1781, working in Wigmore Street, London, and dying in 1723.
