Sterling & Enamel Desk Clock by Bailey, Banks & Biddle (c. 1930)
A Glamorous Piece of Early 20th-Century History
Enhance your desk or display cabinet with this Sterling and Enamel Desk Clock, bearing the prestigious “BAILEY, BANKS AND BIDDLE 8 DAY” mark on its dial. Crafted in Switzerland around 1930, the clock exemplifies the fine attention to detail and timeless elegance that made Bailey, Banks & Biddle a celebrated American jeweler and luxury retailer.
Key Features & Design
Sterling Silver Frame with Enamel
The clock’s exterior features a sterling silver frame accented with colored enamel, showcasing a refined contrast that exudes Art Deco-era charm. The frame’s 5" x 3.5" surface area allows the detailing to shine without overwhelming your desk or mantel.
Dial Markings
The clock dial is clearly marked with “BAILEY, BANKS AND BIDDLE 8 DAY,” reflecting its original design for an 8-day movement. Though the mechanism is no longer functioning, the dial and hands remain visually appealing.
Swiss Craftsmanship
Made in Switzerland, an enduring hub for high-end timepieces, this clock speaks to the era’s dedication to artisanal excellence.
Condition & Display
Frame Condition: Very Good. The sterling silver and enamel exhibit only mild signs of age, preserving the sophisticated look of the piece.
Non-Functional Mechanism: Currently not working, the clock’s movement would require service or replacement to operate. Nevertheless, it retains significant value and charm as a decorative or collectible item.
Dimensions: Approximately 5" (W) x 3.5" (H) x 0.5" (D)—a compact profile suited to desks, shelves, or curio cabinets, where it can make a tasteful statement without occupying excessive space.
