Description
A mid-20th-century mechanical mantel clock produced by the Perivale Clock Manufacturing Co. Ltd. under the Anvil brand. The clock features a dark-stained oak case in the traditional Napoleon hat or arched-top silhouette, resting on a wide stepped base with a beaded decorative moulding along the lower edge. The circular silvered dial is protected by a glazed brass bezel and displays Arabic numerals with three winding apertures. It includes two regulation sub-levers: one for fast and slow adjustment at the 10 o’clock position and a chime/silent selector at the 2 o’clock position. The base of the dial is marked Made in Great Britain. The interior houses a mechanical three-train movement with a five-rod gong chime assembly, stamped with the serial number 30492. An original paper instruction label is affixed to the interior of the rear door bearing the Anvil brand name.
Condition report:
