Art Deco Stylish Desk Clock 8 Day Movement, English, C1930s

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Art Deco World
Description

For your consideration is this beautifully restored Art Deco desk clock in full working condition.

A beautiful vintage chromed 8 day desk clock with a Smiths “C” type movement that was manufactured from the early to mid 1930’s.

The base and stand are of a chromed metal construction with the base having bevelled edges, both shows signs of use and patina attributed to its age and use.

The chromed bezel is in good condition and is constructed of pressed, soldered metal. It houses the chapter ring and hands which are all in good clean condition and visible to see clearly.

The movement has been disassembled, cleaned and reassembled back into good working condition and keeps good time for its age (over 90years old). It is all suspended on the overhanging stand and can be swivelled round to most positions to compliment its style.

The chrome base is sat on a black wooden plinth with chromed feet and a chrome sphere is at the opposite end.

This clock is ideal for collectors, interior decorators, or anyone seeking a refined piece of 1930s design history.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

Art Deco desk clocks from the 1930s feature geometric silhouettes, modern materials like chrome and Bakelite, and stylized numerical typography reflecting the industrial design aesthetic of the era.

Makers commonly used chrome-plated metals, brass internal mechanisms, silvered dials, ebonised wood bases, and early plastics to achieve sleek, modern finishes.

Authentic pieces often feature mechanical wind-up movements, makers marks stamped on the movement or dial, characteristic period typography, and period-appropriate wear on metal plating.

Position the clock on an office desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside clean-lined books and metallic accents to highlight its geometric form.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can wear down chrome plating, and have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a clockmaker.
