Smiths Dominica Wall Clock - 1950s British Wrought Iron Roman Numeral, Restored, 12 Inch

A classic and rare Smiths "Dominica" wall clock from the 1950s — one of the most distinctive decorative designs from this celebrated British manufacturer. The circular wrought iron frame with elegant scrollwork and brass bud details carries twelve raised silver-tone aluminium Roman numeral plaques around the chapter ring, creating a bold and graphic composition that is unmistakably mid-century in character. The plain black dial bears the Smiths name, with new silver-tone hands that sit cleanly against the dark ground.

Professionally restored with a new quartz movement and new hands. 12 inches (30cm) diameter. Ready to hang.

Smiths — Britain's Greatest Clock Maker

Smiths English Clocks operated as part of the wider Smiths Industries group — a company whose precision engineering heritage informed everything they produced. From instrument panels in Spitfires to domestic clocks for British living rooms, the Smiths name was synonymous with quality and reliability for the better part of a century. Their 1950s decorative wall clock range represented the premium end of British domestic design, produced for a market that wanted something genuinely bold and well made on the wall.

The Dominica model — with its combination of wrought iron scrollwork, brass bud accents, and raised Roman numeral plaques — is among the most sought-after pieces from this era of Smiths production. It is a clock with genuine presence, a piece that rewards attention the closer you look.
