Vintage 1950s Smiths Enfield "Beverley" Mantel Clock
Fully Serviced • Gong Strike • Oak Case • Made in England
A particularly attractive vintage Smiths Enfield "Beverley" mantel clock, dating from approximately 1954–1955 and made in England.
This handsome mid-century clock features a beautifully figured oak case with an unusual wood-grain dial, applied silver-tone Roman numerals, ornate period hands and a large convex glass front within a silver-tone bezel.
Behind the dial is a traditional mechanical Smiths movement with pendulum regulation and gong strike. The clock strikes with a pleasing resonant tone and retains its traditional rear access door and period Smiths winding key.
