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.

002-Art Deco Mirror Clock
by Clock Props
002-Art Deco Mirror Clock
A fabulous example of an English Art Deco mirror clock, the sort of piece you would have seen in the cocktail bar of a posh west end hotel.
The peach glass surround highlights the oblong mirror and the clock is mounted centrally on the top.
Originally the clock would have been mains powered but we have adapted the original art deco chrome hands to fit a modern quartz movement so it is fully functional. We have never had another clock like it before so in the right seting this will make a real centre piece.
It has been hard to photograph to best effect because the mirror reflects what was in the foreground when we photographed it. e.g the opposite white wall and floor
98 cm height x 62 cm width x 8 cm deep

271-Advertising Clock
by Clock Props
271-Advertising Clock
A rare French advertising clock, probably from the 1930's.
I have not been able to find any references for this clock other than Vedette was a leading French clock brand.
The original movement is shown here in case someone familiar with electrics would wish to return it to it's original state as a 110 volt power system.
It therefore cannot function in the UK which is why we have converted it to quartz.
It had a system of florescent tubes which illuminated the red wording on the dial and no doubt LEDs could be inserted to highlight the lettering. Definitely a clock for a collector.
52 cm wide / high x 12 cm deep
