Fully Restored Shiny Bentima (1950s) Westminster Chiming Mantle Clock, Perivale Movement

Please note buyers pay return shipping costs if the need arises, return period 14 days*

This clock was retailed by Bentima in 1950s, and its movement was made in Middlesex, the renowned quality three-train Perivale movement. The dome toped case is presented in smooth shiny condition after a few coats of waxing; the famous Perivale movement has been dismantled, ultrasonically overhauled, and oiled (see photos). This All British Made clock is now presented in good antique condition, great working order, playing the quarterly Westminster chiming tunes. 

The art-deco style case is made of oak wood veneers, with an arched top. A large 6-inch chrome-plated brass bezel front door (show minor signs of tarnish) is fitted with the original convex glass. A silvered chapter ring has black Arabic numerals showing the hour, pointed by a pair of silvered framed hour and minute hands. The manufacture/retailor name Bentima is printed at the top of the dial, whilst Made in Great Britian is printed at the bottom.

The re-known Perivale movement was subjected to careful examination, stripping off the components, ultrasonically overhauled, repaired (worn bushed replaced, quite a few) and serviced, as usual. The clock is now working very well for weeks, ticking beautifully, chiming pleasantly and keeping good time. The quarterly Westminster chime is produced via four bronze bars, making 4, 8, 12 chimes at every 15, 30, 45 minutes and 16 chimes +striking at the full hour, which can be silenced easily by flicking a small lever inside the dial on the right.

The dial, hands, glass, and bezel are all in excellent antique condition. It is shiny after careful waxing.  Overall, clock will sit nicely in any mantel in a living room.

The clock has a slim size, which measures: 11-inch wide, 8.5-inch tall and 5-inch deep (28 x 22 x 13 cm).

All clocks I sell are subject to weeks of testing prior to listing, and they come with a pendulum and working winding key. In this case, the clock comes with its original guided pendulum and a vintage steel winding key.

Please look at the photos which form an essential part of the description.

I will pack the clock as careful as possible to make sure it arrives safely. I will provide a guidance to help set up the pendulum.
