Dorothy is a wonderfully stylish 1930s English mantel clock, with a sweeping Art Deco case, beautifully figured veneer dial centre and a rich mechanical gong strike. Her two-train movement has been cleaned, serviced and regulated, while the case has been carefully revived without losing its period character. Elegant, warm and distinctly interwar, Dorothy has just enough glamour to stand out without trying too hard.
A particularly attractive English Art Deco mantel clock dating from circa the 1930s, featuring a beautifully shaped veneered wooden case, mechanical two-train movement and resonant gong strike.
The clock has a wonderfully distinctive period design. The sweeping architectural case is complemented by a large circular dial with silvered chapter ring, elegant Art Deco Arabic numerals and pierced hands.
The centre of the dial is finished in beautifully figured, book-matched veneer, creating an especially attractive focal point. A polished metal bezel and glazed front door complete the classic interwar appearance.
