Stunning Heavy Gilt Bronze Desk Clock by Asprey of London

1940 - 1960
Description

Stunning Heavy Gilt Bronze Desk Clock By Asprey Of London.

This stunning desk clock has a beautiful, heavy bronze case with a fantastic gilt finish. The case has a nice shaped base to the bottom with an arched body set at an angle so that the dial can be seen with ease when placed on a desk. The front then has a fabulous ‘scooped’ out design to the front which sets it off nicely.

The dial is then enamel and marked out in black Roman numerals with smaller Arabic numerals marking out the minutes. The dial is of exceptional quality and is signed by the famous maker “ASPREY LONDON” showing the piece is of the upmost quality. The dial is then finished by two gilt, intricately designed hands which finish it perfectly.

The movement is then wound, and adjusted from the back. It comes complete with its winding key and ticks away perfectly via a balance wheel. The movement then has a lovely back door to cover and protect the movement.

Truly lovely clock of the upmost quality. Would make a fantastic addition to any home or collection.

It measures approximately:

- 5.25” / 13.25cm Tall.

- 3.75” / 9.5cm Wide.

- 2.5” / 6.25cm Deep.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Neoclassical gilt bronze clocks feature symmetrical architectural forms, floral garlands, and motifs derived from classical antiquity. Popularised across Europe from the late eighteenth century, these timepieces emphasize balanced proportions and fine metalwork.

High-grade desk clocks typically combine solid cast bronze or brass cases finished with gilding, vitreous enamel dials with hand-painted numerals, and precision mechanical clock movements.

Authentic Asprey clocks display fine quality metal casting, crisp detail work, and dial markings clearly stating the makers signature and location. They feature heavy solid bronze construction rather than lightweight modern alloy replacements.

Place the clock as a focal point on an executive office desk, an upholstered console table, or a marble fireplace mantel. Pairing gilded metalwork with dark timber surfaces or leather accessories creates a balanced composition.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a microfibre brush. Avoid applying liquid metal polishes, solvent cleaners, or water, as chemical agents can wear away original gilded finishes and damage enamel dials.
