Charles Frodsham Fusee Carriage Clock London carriage clock Charles Frodsham %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A lovely brass Charles Frodsham carriage antique clock having an 8-day double fusee mechanical movement which has been fully serviced and is in full working order. This particular piece has the added benefit of having an hour repeater fitted. It strikes on the hour on a bell. The face of the timepiece has a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals which is surrounded by a nicely engraved brass panel. The firm of Charles Frodsham & Company was established in 1834 by Charles Frodsham, born 1810, at premises in Finsbury. By 1854, Charles was keeper of her majesty’s antique clocks at the royal palaces. The royal warrant continued for 125 years, and the Frodshams were responsible for maintaining the royal timepieces. He was the last independent clock maker to have his own workshop at Buckingham Palace, and his royal connections guaranteed him aristocratic customers. When Frodsham died in 1871, his son took over the business. It became a subsidiary of Devon Instruments in 1977, and still operates from a single shop in London, although it no longer manufactures. In his heyday between the mid-19th century and his death in 1871, Frodsham was one of the most respected clockmakers in the country, and his work commanded high prices. The firm not only supplied clocks to private clients, but also held several commissions to supply chronometers to the admiralty. Wall and carriage clocks and pocket watches from this period are especially sought after, as are barometers and marine chronographs. This piece is circa 1960's
