DOUBLE SIDED SQUARE WALL CLOCK BY GENTS OF LEICESTER
A rare form and size clock by British clock makers Gents of Leicester.
Manufactured circa 1940
The clocks steel case has been exposed and left in a RAW brushed finish and protected with a liquid beeswax polish.
The clock retains its original slave movements and is controlled by a modern impulse driver which can be mounted external from the clock to control and changes that are required.
The clock is a wall mounted variant but this can be spun to be ceiling mounted if required.
A stunning small formatted clock with two 12″ dials making it usable in both residential or commercial interiors.
By choosing a vintage industrial clock like this one, you’re not only adding character and charm to your space, but also reducing your carbon footprint by reusing existing materials.
When renovating our original reclaimed lighting all existing electrical parts are removed and renewed with modern electrical components.
All components used are CE certified and our lights are wired tested in line with BSEN Standards.
As standard our lights come with 1m of our premium fabric three core cable to a colour of your choice unless stated otherwise in the product description.
Generally, ES or BS lamp holders are used unless otherwise stated and are fully compatible with main dimmers and modern LED filament bulbs.
Our lights can be wired to bespoke specifications, longer lengths, different cable types and compatibility with specialist dimming systems such as DALI can all be accommodated.
Lights supplied to U.S.A and Canada are installed using UL Certified cable and lamp holders. As standard we supply round black fabric cable and E26 holders. Please note that although we use UL certified components our original reclaimed lights do not come with UL certification.
Due to the antique nature of our original vintage lights, we cannot offer an official IP rating and cannot guarantee our lights for external use.
