Clockwise has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
It has just been fully dismantled, restored and cleaned and as such benefits from my three year guarantee.
The original dial is written 'John Smith & Sons, Midland Clock Works, Queen St, Derby'. John Smith is still trading today and they are clockmakers of the highest calibre dating back to 1856.
The oak case has two side doors and a bottom door with working replacement lock and the stunning case has enjoyed a full refurbishment also and the correct brass L.M.S brass plaque is located to the right side of the clock. A polished bezel with sight ring and original and correct spade hands compliment the twelve inch dial beautifully and showcase this clock from circa 1870 as a rare and handsome piece of history with fewer examples of this genre available year on year.
The records show this clock as last being in use at Westhouses Station in Derby which was on the Midland main line and the last owner of this clock purchased it from Collectors Corner in Euston where disused railwayana was sold off by British Rail. This clock comes complete with pendulum and two keys
