Description
David Veasey for Liberty & Co: a large 'Tree of Life' pewter and enamel mantel clock - c.1905, the circular copper dial with enamelled decoration and Roman numerals, fronting a Lenzkirch twin-train movement, striking the half hours on a coiled gong, no. 491164, the lancet arched case decorated with a stylised tree, the front angles imitating draped linen, the open base with a wooden movement platform and turned bun feet, the rear door with a central star-pierced grille, 33.5cm high, apparently unmarked.
* Condition: The clock is in good condition overall and appears to be very original. The movement is in running order when catalogued and strikes correctly. The four pins which fix the copper dial in place are missing - it was a little loose when it came in but we have just loosely inserted a fine pin through the top hole to secure it temporarily. The dial is in good condition overall, with just a minor loss from numeral VI, a small flake from the enamel to the right of the right-hand winding hole, and a faint curved bruise in the enamel to the left of the left-hand winding hole. The case is in good condition and has not been polished - it has a nice original patina. There is a slight dent to the right hand side of the lower front edge of the case, but otherwise it is good, with no splits, other dents or dings or repairs. The base of the clock case is open - all of the others we have been able to reference have a flat, closed-in base with no bun feet. The open base and bun feet appear to be completely original and not a later alteration.
