Antique 15" Mahogany Smiths Railway Station / School Round Dial Wall Hanging Clock (timepiece)

£595    $756    €717
This is a good quality antique mahogany 15” Smiths wall clock, with a railway station design, incorporating a Smiths timepiece mechanism, circa 1930 - 1940, which has been lovingly restored to its former glory and is now in good working order.
 
This mahogany wall clock boasts a beautiful dark red-brown colour mahogany case, with a moulded brass bezel and a pendulum access door on the underside to enable you to attach / adjust the pendulum.

The 15” Smiths wall clock incorporates a later tin dial, painted with black Arabic numbers, with an elegant shaped hour and minute hand.  A hinged solid brass 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.
