Davall \u0026amp; Sons, the firm produced English-made movements and complete clocks from the St John Street area of Clerkenwell, historically the centre of London's clock and watchmaking trade.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Davall was also connected with the important Perivale clockmaking industry, which produced some of Britain's best-known mechanical clocks during the interwar period. Surviving Davall clocks include domestic mantel and wall clocks, commercial timepieces and clocks produced for military use.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This example is a particularly attractive survivor from that important period of British clockmaking.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;color:#70472d;border-bottom:2px solid #b8924a;padding-bottom:7px;\"\u003eMovement and Restoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The clock contains its traditional English-made, spring-driven mechanical movement. It is a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003etime-only clock\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering the pleasure of a mechanical movement without an hourly strike or chime.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The movement has been removed from the case, dismantled, cleaned, inspected and lubricated — Novostar oil to the mainspring, synthetic clock oil to the pivots — before being reassembled and tested. It is running well at the time of listing.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      The oak case has been carefully revived by hand while retaining its original character. It has been refinished with traditional garnet shellac, gently cut back and protected with Renaissance microcrystalline wax. The result is a deep, warm period finish rather than an overly bright modern appearance.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- RESTORATION CHECKLIST --\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f3ed;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;border-radius:6px;padding:18px 20px;margin-top:14px;\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;color:#70472d;font-size:16px;\"\u003eRestoration Checklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMovement removed, dismantled and cleaned\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eMainspring lubricated with Novostar oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003ePivots lubricated with synthetic clock oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eReassembled, tested and running well\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eOak case refinished with traditional garnet shellac\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCase protected with Renaissance microcrystalline wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;color:#70472d;border-bottom:2px solid #b8924a;padding-bottom:7px;margin-top:26px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cul style=\"padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eOriginal 1930s English Art Deco mantel clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eMade by Davall of London\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eEight-day mechanical timepiece movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTime-only design with no strike or chime\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eRichly figured oak case\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eStepped and fluted architectural detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSilvered dial with stylised Arabic numerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eHinged gilt-finished bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBevelled front glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTraditional pendulum-regulated movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;color:#70472d;border-bottom:2px solid #b8924a;padding-bottom:7px;\"\u003eApproximate Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:12px;\"\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;background:#f7f3ed;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;\"\u003e21 cm \/ 8.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;background:#f7f3ed;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;\"\u003e25 cm \/ 9.8 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;background:#f7f3ed;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #d5c4ae;\"\u003e11 cm \/ 4.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-family:'Playfair Display',Georgia,serif;color:#70472d;border-bottom:2px solid #b8924a;padding-bottom:7px;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Presented in very good restored vintage condition.
