ANTIQUE #SA815923

Classic Wall Clock - London County Council

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Its About Time

This 12'' dial wall clock or Timepiece has a solid mahogany case with a cast brass bezel with silvered inner sight ring. The original dial is painted with Roman numerals and the words London County Council where it would have originally hung. The movement is a single fusee on a fine chain and is now fully serviced. The case has two doors one on the right hand side and one on the convex bottom which are both latched as well as the main bezel door on the front which is also held with a latch. This classic old fusee was made in 1939 as this can be seen stamped into the back of the ''Back-box''. A heavy lead filled pendulum bob and key. Attractive and functional. We especially like how this has the London County Council in an arch and the letters are clearly hand painted as they are all different sizes! It just looks great though.(The reflections on the glass in the main photo are difficult to edit out)
