268-Large Wall Clock
SKU: 268 by Clock Props268-Large Wall Clock
A 1920's French turret clock that would have been outside on some public or industrial building.
Made of iron, the clock dial was purchased without it's original movement and hands so we have made light-weight hands in the antique style to work with a specially adapted quartz mechanism, so it keeps perfect time. An antique clock dial with modern time-keeping.
106 cm wide x 6 cm deep

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.
