Overview

A handsome vintage Smiths Enfield Westminster chime mantel clock, presented in a traditional mahogany-finished Napoleon hat case. This is a particularly attractive example, with a beautifully figured wooden dial carrying applied gilt Roman numerals, ornate period hands, and a polished brass bezel with convex glass. The book-matched grain gives the dial a rich, distinctive appearance.

Movement & Chime

Fitted with its original British-made Smiths Enfield movement, backplate-stamped "Smiths Enfield, Made in Gt. Britain, The Enfield Clock Co. Ltd." The clock plays the traditional Westminster melody on a bank of chime rods at each quarter, followed by the correct number of hour strikes. Three separate winding points power the timekeeping, chime, and hour strike trains, with a chime selection and silence control positioned beside the III.

Restoration

• Movement fully dismantled, cleaned, and inspected
• Pivots lubricated with synthetic clock oil, mainsprings with Novostar oil
• Reassembled, tested, and regulated for accurate timekeeping
• Case sympathetically cleaned and revived, retaining original character

Condition

Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description. As expected of a clock of this age, there is light general wear consistent with years of use and display. The hour hand is missing its tip, visible in the photographs.
