Description

For your consideration is this super stylish Art Deco chrome and green bakelite desk clock by the English clockmakers Smiths, dates to the 1930's. These size desk clocks are often only 30 hour so this is a nice find to have an 8 day movement. The body of the clock is chrome cased with a panel of green bakelite accents either side. Condition is very good, some mild signs of age to the chrome but nothing too unsightly. The movement has been serviced and so the clock works well and keeps good time. FREE UK DELIVERY

FAQs

Art Deco clocks from the 1920s and 1930s are characterised by geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, and a fusion of industrial materials like chrome with contrasting elements such as coloured glass or bakelite.

These timepieces frequently utilised chromium plating, brass, glass, marble, and early plastics, reflecting the machine age and modern manufacturing techniques of the period.

Authentic pieces typically feature mechanical 8-day or spring-wound movements, maker stamps on the dial or movement such as Smiths or similar British manufacturers, and period-correct typography on the clock face.

Place the clock on a modern office desk, a minimalist bookshelf, or a mantelpiece to add a focal point of industrial geometry and vintage metallic sheen to a room.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and damp environments, avoid over-winding the mainspring, and have the movement professionally serviced every few years to ensure longevity.
