Art Deco Style 30 Hr Table Clock by Smiths , C1960

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Art Deco World
Description

In the 1960's Smiths produced a range of high end 30 hr manual clocks with a distinctly Art Deco feel to them. This handsome chap is a surviving example, in great condition. The number dial is chrome, as are the hands, feet & base. He is virtually silent, and keeps remarkably good time. This clock is an absolute delight. This glamorous clock features a chrome bezel with fretted out numerals and a mirrored blue glass dial. The clock as with all our clocks are fully tested and restored by our horologist so comes to you in full working order.

Condition is as good as one could expect from something nearing 60 years old.

We've had this clock fully stripped down, each part cleaned & re assembled.

Smiths dial branding with Great Britain imprint: commercial production of the mid-20th century.

Soft patina and light oxidisation across the brass hoop: decades of handling.

This Art Deco style table clock dates to 1960 and is made from brass, Bakelite and glass in brass and black. The piece has a circular dark dial behind a glass face, featuring white Arabic numerals, chrome hands, a date aperture, and the Smiths mark. The circular clock face is supported by an arched brass frame that attaches to a geometric black base with three brass feet. It measures 14 cm high, 15 cm wide and 6 cm deep. In a modern home, this timepiece functions effectively as a decorative desk clock for an office or study, bringing mid-century functional design to a mantelpiece, side table or bookshelf. Its compact form allows it to sit neatly within various interior spaces while maintaining its original working order.

FAQs

Art Deco clocks feature geometric forms, streamlined metal accents, bold numerical typography, and a balance of symmetry and modernity characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative arts.

Timepieces from this period typically utilised brass, chrome-plated metals, bakelite, early plastics, and glass face covers housing printed metal dials.

Authentic pieces frequently display maker stamps on the dial, country of origin markings such as Made in Great Britain, and mechanical wind-up mechanisms.

A vintage table clock functions effectively when placed on an office desk, a floating wall shelf, a sideboard surface, or a fireplace mantel alongside contemporary accents.

Keep the casing dust-free using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying aggressive metal polish directly to lacquered brass, and have mechanical movements serviced periodically by a clockmaker.
