This large English 1930s wall clock originates from the industrial Art Deco period and carries the Magneta London name on the face. The piece is constructed from steel, glass and bakelite materials, featuring a cream dial housed within a deeply moulded brown metal surround. Black Roman numerals mark the hours alongside distinct spade hands, while a wire cord extends from the bottom of the flush mount casing. The face shows light age-related patination across its painted surface, and the mechanism remains in working order. Measuring 55 cm high, 55 cm wide and 14 cm deep, the clock suits placement above a sideboard in an industrial loft or contemporary domestic living space.

FAQs

During the 1930s, electric synchronised wall clocks became standard across British commercial, civic, and educational institutions, manufactured by companies such as Magneta London to provide uniform timekeeping throughout large facilities.

These timepieces were typically constructed using painted steel, heavy Bakelite, or cast iron frames housing a protective glass lens, with painted metal dial faces and stamped brass or steel hands.

Authentic examples display explicit maker markings such as Magneta and Electric London printed on the dial face, alongside period-appropriate Roman numerals, substantial casing materials, and vintage electrical components.

Industrial wall clocks serve as functional focal points when mounted above sideboards, office desks, or along hallways alongside clean-lined contemporary furniture to create visual contrast.

Dust the dial glass and frame regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, keep the piece away from high moisture areas to prevent frame oxidisation, and consult a qualified electrician prior to connecting vintage movements to modern mains power.
