An early 20th Century Arts & Crafts style mantle clock. This clock clearly draws it’s inspiration from the Tudric Pewter range of products created by Liberty & Co. without trying to imitate. With a wooden structure, plated and riveted with hammered sheet pewter, this clock takes the form of a miniature traditional long case clock and includes two amber coloured “Ruskin” style ceramic cabochons.
In the hand-crafted Arts & Crafts manner, this clock could be a one off, and has the feel of a scratch-built project inspired by Archibald Knox’s range at the famous London store.
In wonderful antique condition, and this can be seen from the photography. There is a patch to the top left side of the clock (see photos) where some years ago someone has considered polishing the clock, but it seems they might have thought better of it and the lovely authentic patina has been, for the most part, left intact.
When I acquired the clock there was no mechanism. So a professional has skilfully added a quality quartz battery movement held in place by a new 3D printed frame and back plate.
Measuring 28.5cm tall – 5cm deep and 10cm wide
