A characterful late early 20th century wall clock, housed in a beautifully aged oak case with a rich, time-worn patina.
The circular frame is softly rounded and well-proportioned, its warm tone and visible grain giving the piece a grounded, tactile quality. The original painted dial, complete with bold Roman numerals, shows a gentle, even wear across the surface, with spotting and marks that speak to its age and long history in use.
The simple black hands sit cleanly against the dial, while the glazed front door, set within a brass surround, opens to reveal the face beneath. The hinge and construction details further reinforce its utilitarian origins, likely designed for use in a workshop, school, or commercial setting.
To the reverse, the construction is straightforward and honest, with a simple timber backboard and hanging plate, typical of the period and indicative of practical manufacture rather than decorative excess.
