069-English Clock Tower Dial
SKU: 069 by Clock Props069-English Clock Tower Dial
Typical of many Victorian and Edwardian town hall clock dials.
The heavy cast iron frame has Roman numerals on a white background incased in a black metal rim.
The hands are highly decorative and we have been able to adapt them to work with a heavy duty quartz mechanism for perfect time keeping instead of just being a decorative object.
This type of clock rarely pops up nowadays which gives it an added attraction.
Size: 82cm x 12cm

Roger Lascelles has spent the past 30 years building a collection of vintage and antique clocks that is second to none. In the premises of the old Wandsworth clock factory Roger maintains a collection of over 500 clocks, ranging from antique grandfather clocks to huge external turret dials, from Bakerlite mantels to old French enamels. Roger still frequents antique markets and auction houses at home and abroad and with the help of a small team of skilled craftsmen, will often enjoy reviving an old electric clock that has seen better days, into a fully functional clock using a modern quartz movement, while maintaining all the charm and character of the original. Roger’s latest venture, clockprops.com is to offer many old and interesting clocks for sale or to hire. So if you are looking to decorate a film set or just want to own a piece of clock history this website will be an indispensible source.
