Description:
Here we have for sale a good quality antique 14½" mahogany wall clock, with a railway station design, incorporating a Smiths mechanism, which has been lovingly restored to its former glory and is now in good working order.

This mahogany wall antique clock features a beautiful dark mahogany case, with a moulded mahogany bezel, a pendulum access door on the underside and a mechanism-viewing door on the left-hand side that allows you to view the mechanism whilst in operation.

This mahogany wall clock houses a quality single brass barrel spring driven Smiths time piece mechanism, which would have been shipped over to India and then cased locally, in order to reduce shipping costs, at the time.

The movement has been restored and serviced and is now in good mechanical order, ensuring this clock is reliable and keeps good time. The pendulum, which is attached to the mechanism by accessing the clock from the door below, can be adjusted in length to allow you to regulate the clock speed. The clock comes with a key, which is used to wind the mechanism through the centre of the face dial.

Thr mahogany wall clock face features a replacement ivory colour tin dial with black Roman numerals and elegant shaped hour and minute hand. A hinged mahogany bezel houses the glass face that protects the tin dial and face whilst in operation. The brass bezel opens on a right hand hinge to allow you to adjust or set the time. There is a catch to the back of the clock that locks the brass bezel in place and stops it from accidentally swinging open.

The mahogany case has been French polished to give a rich dark mahogany finish. This clock features a “deep dish” case design which means that case is of better quality and is slightly deeper in depth than the 16” antique clocks. On the back of the clock is a bracket to attach the clock to the wall.

This mahogany wall clock boasts brass levelling lugs and pins, which are attached to each side of the clock and are designed to give the clock traction against the wall and allow the angle of the case to be adjusted away from the wall if the clock is hung on wall which is not vertically straight, such as in old buildings.

The clock looks great in a variety of rooms and also in either a traditional or contemporary setting. This truly is a very beautiful wall clock of classic styling and quality construction. It will become a member of the family after not too long! So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely antique clock.

Provenance:
Samuel Smith of London founded the “Smiths” company itself, in 1851 as a clock and watch business. They soon became once of the largest clock makers in Europe. From their head office in Cricklewood, North London, they produced antique clocks for the home, workplace, aircraft and the motor industry. Smiths also became a dominant supplier of precision instruments to the automotive sector from the early 1900s. Smith’s clocks could be found everywhere from railway stations to schools, public buildings, the private manufacturing sector such Bentleys to Minis and even Spitfire aircraft.

The Enfield Clock Company (London) Ltd was formed in 1929 at Pretoria Road, Edmonton, London, N18. The first clocks were sold in 1932. The clocks were originally sold for wholesale and export to the British Colonies. They were also selling movements to shops as well as casing them up themselves. In 1933, the Enfield Company was finding it difficult to compete on price so the company was sold to Smiths Industries. This led to the world famous ‘Smiths Enfield’ clocks.

This mahogany wall clock was designed for use in public buildings such as schools or railway stations within the British colonies, predominantly India therefore, its reliability and quality of construction were paramount. This clock is of very good quality and it was constructed prior to wartime restrictions being imposed regarding materials therefore no costs were spared in its construction.

Once the clock has been repaired, we will then return the clock to you free of charge.
