L.m.s Rare Railway Dial Wall Clock, Stunning

19th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Clockwise is delighted to present to you another stunning and lovingly restored railway clock for your consideration, with many more railway clocks coming soon. This is only the second example of this maker and highly desirable style I have seen in two years. This fine eight day fusee chain-driven movement with anchor escapement and rectangular plates has shaped shoulders and cut-outs to the bottom plates, with turned pillars, as was typical in the 1870's. 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

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

Declaration

Clockwise has dated this Antique Railway Wall Clock to the Victorian era.

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.

A railway dial clock is a wall-mounted timepiece historically manufactured for British railway stations, signal boxes, and administrative offices to provide clear and precise timekeeping.

These clocks typically feature solid oak or mahogany turned surrounds, hand-painted metal dials, cast brass bezels, and glass fronts protecting mechanical movements.

Authentic examples often display original maker stamps on the movement, painted dial details specifying regional makers or railway companies, and evidence of heavy cast brass hinges and iron backplates.

These functional timepieces work well as focal points above sideboards, within home offices, or along hallway walls to add historical context to contemporary schemes.

Dust the timber surround regularly with a soft dry cloth, treat the oak occasionally with natural beeswax, and ensure the brass bezel is gently cleaned without harsh polish touching the dial.
