Early 20th Century Gents of Leicester Station Clock

1900 - 1920
Description

Early 20th Century Gents of Leicester English Double Sided Station Clock

A larger than life square example of an original early 20th century Gents of Leicester English double sided station clock. Illuminated on a 240v power source cable and working using a refurbished quartz mechanism for time keeping. Stood on bespoke cast metal legs for ease of display purposes. A real statement piece of functional interior décor.

Dimensions in inches: H 32” x W 27” x D 15”

Age: 1920

Origin: English

Condition: Good

A naturally aged item that has stood the test of time over many years. Worn metal surface with faded/scratched and tarnished black painted outer area as shown. Rusted sections to the stand but very solid and firmly in place. This item weighs close to 40KG and this is reflected in the shipping costs. The clocks work to a battery operated quartz mechanism. Original glass facia and outer sections.

We strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase. A direct message usually takes 24 hours to answer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Gent & Co Ltd, trading as Gents of Leicester, was established in 1872 and became a prominent British manufacturer of electric clocks, fire alarms, and public timekeeping systems widely used in railway stations and municipal buildings throughout the 20th century.

Station clocks were constructed using robust materials designed for public durability, featuring heavy steel or cast iron outer casings, glass face covers, and painted sheet metal dials with bold hands.

Authentic pieces feature the distinctive Gents of Leicester trademark logo printed on the dial face, high-grade heavy metal casing, original mounting feet or side brackets, and characteristic master-slave electric clock movements.

An industrial station clock serves as an architectural anchor when displayed on a wide sideboard, mantelpiece, or low media unit, pairing effectively with minimalist, loft, or contemporary design schemes.

Dust the metal casing regularly with a soft dry microfiber cloth, clean the glass pane with a non-abrasive glass cleaner, and ensure any electrical movement conversions are conducted by a qualified horologist.
