Edwin is a rather distinguished Mappin & Webb gentleman: elegant mahogany, a little decorative flourish and just enough evidence of a long life to make him interesting. His dial has acquired a scar along the way, but after all these years we think he’s entitled to one. He’s running well, keeping time and is ready for his next mantelpiece.
A refined vintage mantel clock retailed by Mappin & Webb of London — mahogany case with decorative inlaid detail, polished brass bezel, Roman numeral dial and a mechanical movement running well and keeping time correctly. The Mappin & Webb signature adds genuine prestige and historical interest. Honestly described and priced to reflect condition.
The name is part of what you\'re buyingA Mappin & Webb signed dial sets this apart from an anonymous mantel clock of the same period. The retailer\'s reputation for quality was built over two centuries — that association still matters to collectors and enthusiasts today.
About Mappin & Webb
Founded in the 18th century, Mappin & Webb became one of Britain\'s most prestigious luxury retailers, earning an international reputation for fine jewellery, silverware, clocks and gifts. The company supplied royal households and became synonymous with quality craftsmanship and elegant design.
Pieces bearing the Mappin & Webb name remain highly desirable today, particularly when housed in attractive original cases. The retailer signature adds both historical interest and a level of prestige beyond that found on many anonymous mantel clocks of the period.
About the Clock
The mahogany case is well-proportioned and elegantly detailed, with decorative inlay and a polished brass bezel surrounding a traditional Roman numeral dial signed Mappin & Webb London. The graceful proportions and quality materials set it apart from many ordinary mantel clocks of the period.
It works equally well in a traditional or contemporary interior — warm mahogany, restrained decoration and a proper mechanical movement combine to give it a character that a modern battery clock simply cannot match.
Condition
The mahogany case presents attractively with a rich warm colour and elegant profile. Light marks and wear consistent with age and previous ownership are present as expected on a genuine vintage clock.
Please Note — Dial Damage
There is visible damage to the dial around the 8 o\'clock position. This is clearly shown in the photographs and has been fully reflected in the asking price. While present, it does little to detract from the overall display presence of this attractive retailer-signed clock.
The movement is running well and keeping time correctly. As with all vintage mechanical clocks, occasional regulation may be required depending on environment and positioning — this is normal and not a fault. Please study all photographs carefully — they form an important part of the condition description.
