An Arts and Crafts wall clock made by Zenith during the 1950 period, presenting an Art Deco design style suitable for a gentleman's library. The piece takes the form of a circular warm brown oak wall clock with a domed solid oak dial, featuring a carved bezel and concentric minute markers alongside applied metal Arabic numerals and spade clock hands. The construction comprises oak and metal materials with chromed dots marking the minutes and diamonds at the hours. The item measures 35 cm high, 35 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, making it appropriate for placement above a sideboard in a home today.

FAQs

Timepieces from this era frequently combine solid or veneered timber dials with distinct metal numerals and geometric hands. The design aesthetic bridges traditional woodworking with emerging Art Deco and Modernist influences.

Cases and dial boards were commonly crafted from quartersawn oak, walnut, or mahogany. Numerals and hands were often made from stamped brass, steel, or chrome-plated metal, set behind bevelled glass covers.

Authentic examples exhibit natural wood grain variations, authentic mechanical key-wind or early electric movements, hand-fitted metal numerals, and light surface patination or oxidisation consistent with age.

Position the clock as a focal point above a console table, sideboard, or within a gallery wall. The warm timber tones contrast effectively against neutral or dark paint schemes in contemporary living spaces or home offices.

Dust the wood casing regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish occasionally to preserve the timber grain. Glass elements should be cleaned using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the clock.
