A handsome vintage Enfield 8 day mantel clock in a warm oak tambour case — clean silvered dial, black Arabic numerals, chrome bezel and a coiled gong striking the hours and half hours. Run tested for 7 days, strike tested and confirmed correct. A good honest working vintage clock, fairly priced and ready to enjoy.
Enfield was one of Britain's most respected domestic clock brands throughout the mid-20th century, producing reliable mechanical movements in well-made cases. This tambour example has a strong Art Deco character — the curved oak case, large circular dial and chrome bezel give it a clean, confident look that works equally well in a traditional or contemporary setting.
The two-train movement strikes the hours and a single blow on the half hour on a coiled gong, with a pleasing clear tone.
The clock presents very well from the front. The oak case retains a warm finish and the dial is clean and readable. The accessible pivots have been cleaned and the movement lightly oiled.
This clock has not been fully stripped and serviced by Mahn & Co. It has been run tested for 7 days, the accessible pivots cleaned and the movement lightly oiled. An internal service label indicates it was professionally serviced approximately 5 years ago. It is priced as a good running vintage example rather than a freshly overhauled clock.
Cosmetic wear includes light marks, minor edge wear, some age-related wear around the bezel area and light scratching to the rear door — all consistent with age. Please study all photographs carefully — they form an important part of the condition description.
The clock will be carefully packed using generous protective materials. On arrival, place on a stable level surface and set the beat. Minor adjustment after transit is normal for any vintage mechanical clock and is not a fault.
