Doe and Hope

Description

The very decorative and rather unusual convex Deco wall clock retaining the original amber, black and forest green paintwork and classic hand painted black art deco styled numbers, now with a quartz movement and replacement hands, the whole surviving from the second quarter of twentieth century England.

The clock is in working order having had a new quartz movement fitted. The pitting and wear to the paint makes it tremendously decorative, almost akin to a surface on some far-out planet.

We cannot find a comparable clock, although Heals, for example, made convex clocks starting in the late twenties.

A hugely evocative clock in a very striking colour and very much of this unmistakable period.
