EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable clock from the late 19th century. The Clock, created between 1872 and 1883, is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship by the English School. Standing at a height of 99 cm, it is currently housed in The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London. The clock's ebonised and painted wood case features intricate details that immediately catch the eye. Its gabled top with shaped barge boards encloses a mirror-backed niche, adding depth and elegance to its design. The enamelled metal clock face, set within a brass casing, displays arabic numerals in a circular formation along with the inscription [???]&Co TO THE QUEEN LONDON. A central stylised flower design in blue adds an artistic touch. Not only visually stunning, this clock also boasts functionality with its spring-driven mechanism. It stands proudly over a spindled gallery and beneath a shaped arched mirror-backed niche adorned with sunflowers. The base includes a small quadrant shelf with mirrored backing and beautifully shaped brackets. The clock's construction reveals meticulous attention to detail; boarded, nailed, screwed or glued joints ensure durability while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Access to the rear is granted through a hinged door on the back right side. With its charming daisy designs, geometric patterns, and delicate gold lines adorning every inch of its carcass - this Clock truly exemplifies timeless beauty fused with exceptional artistry.
