Plain rectangular mahogany case on a plinth. Face with roman numerals, single winding hole. This clock was purchased in the19th century for use by staff at the Victoria and Albert Museum (then known as the South Kensington Museum).
The clock also bears the paper label of 'C. Sansom, Watch & Clock Maker, 2 Montpelier Street, Brompton Road, SW'. This and other selected items of museum furniture have been taken into the permanent collections as illustrations of the kind of plain, good quality furnishings supplied for public offices during the reign of Queen Victoria.
