Museum piece
The round clock case, with its dark brown wooden surface, is set into a broadly sweeping, gold-coloured brass stand. The clock can be rotated within the stand. The light-coloured chapter ring with Roman numerals surrounds a dial with visible wood grain. Slender openwork hands and widely splayed feet give the clock a light form characteristic of the 1950s.
Inside is a mechanical movement with manual winding. The movement was cleaned and properly oiled. A suitable winding key was included.
Manufacturer
It is no longer possible to identify the maker of every clock with certainty. Company marks, inscriptions and other clues may have been lost over the decades. Cases and movements were also frequently made by different businesses.
Where clear evidence is lacking, we deliberately refrain from attributing a clock to a particular manufacturer. The clock itself nevertheless remains a witness to its time. Its design, technology and craftsmanship tell part of its history even when its maker is unknown.
