Description

Hi

I have for sale a beautiful 1930-40s Westminster wall clock made by Vedette of France a very rare clock which has just come back from a full restore of the movement which included 3 new springs , The case and whole clock is so original it is incredible in a burr walnut with the crome extras and even the original instruction leaflet in French.

The Case

The case is 61cm high x 38cm wide with a depth of 18cm it is in very good original condition very shiny has had a lot of wax over the years very well looked after, with a thick glass front door housed in solid wood frame, There is no evidence of any damage at all.

The Dial

The dial is in very perfect original condition in silver and retains the black ornate hands which are original to the clock. The numerals are also black Arabic.

The dial is signed by the maker Vedette.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day striking the quarters on five thick gongs the Westminster chime and full chime on the hour it sounds really mellow a great-sounding clock.

Also, there is a lever to turn all the chimes off if needed.

The movement keeps spot on time over the eight days and is a very thick square-plated affair of top quality she was fully restored with new springs.

Overall stunning and quite rare in this original condition, the clock that looks great on display keeps great time and looking even better.

I could post but a collection would be better.

Art Deco clocks are characterised by geometric shapes, streamlined forms, symmetrical designs, and a combination of traditional and modern materials such as exotic wood veneers and chrome.

These clocks typically feature wooden cases made from burr walnut, oak, or mahogany veneers, complemented by brass movements, glass bezels, and metal dial accents.

Authentic pieces generally feature mechanical movements, maker stamps on the dial or movement backplate, high-quality wood veneers, and distinct geometric or stepped architectural case designs.

An Art Deco clock serves as a strong focal point on a neutral wall or above a minimalist sideboard, contrasting clean modern lines with rich wood tones and historical craftsmanship.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations, wind it carefully according to its specific movement instructions, and have it professionally serviced every few years to maintain the mechanism.
