EXTREMELY RARE 1931 Fairfax & Roberts Chiming Mantle Clock
$1,650
SHIPPING OFFERED
This delightful antique mantel clock is richly appointed in an attractive walnut case and features a silvered dial and chrome bezel.
Playing the classic Westminster chime, it can also be switched off if required.
Garrard clocks are renowned for their high quality with engine turned finishes on the solid brass plates and proper steel pin and brass insert-bushed bearings.
They have an excellent rep utation for the fine quality of both their movements and cases.
This antique clock was manufactured by The Garrard Engineering & Manufacturing Company which was founded by C.E. Newbigin and Major S.H. Garrard in 1915 to manufacture war effort materials such as bomb sights. At the end of World War I they changed to making clockwork motors for gramophones and then to clocks in 1931.
This extremely rare piece was manufactured for Australia’s oldest jeweller Fairfax & Robert’s and is dated as manufactured in 1931, the first year they produced clocks.
Fully original and never restored it is in correct working order and a beautiful piece to behold.
Not likely to find another one like this. Similar examples without the Fairfax & Robert’s origin but manufactured in the same year are being sold for online anywhere from $1,200-$1,900.
My piece a Fairfax & Roberts Australian sold item, commands much more due to its rarity. In it’s day this item would have cost close an average months wage to purchase.
