This shelf clock is a decorative metal timepiece designed by Archibald Knox around 1902 and manufactured by Liberty & Co. in London, England. The clock measures 29.8 by 16.5 by 12 cm (11 3/4 by 6 1/2 by 4 3/4 in.) and is constructed primarily from pewter and copper.
The case is rendered in polished pewter, featuring an upright, tapered silhouette that widens towards the upper section and rests on a flared plinth base.

The dial is shaped with an arched top and stepped shoulders, displaying stylized numeral markers around a circular central motif, accompanied by two dark hands.
