EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Black Marble Mantel Clock, dating back to March 22nd, 1903, is an exceptional timepiece that showcases the elegance and sophistication of the Edwardian era. The clock, measuring 26 inches in height, was crafted by Royce Limited, based in Trafford Park, Manchester, as a mark of esteem for Charles Cheers Wakefield, 1st Viscount of Wakefield. Charles Wakefield was a prominent figure in the early 1900s, known for founding Castrol and serving as Mayor of London. He was also a noted philanthropist, making this clock a cherished possession. The clock is adorned with a spelter figure of Napoleon on horseback, adding an air of grandeur to the piece. The clock's movement is stamped with the signature of A.D. Mougin, a renowned clockmaker of the time.

This rare and extremely valuable clock is a testament to the transportation revolution of the early 1900s, with its sleek black marble exterior and intricate brass detailing.
