Clock model 0252 is of varied appearance with the common factor being the shape of the design. The model is 16.8 cm high but, as can be seen below, there are at least three distinct variations which, at first glance, give the impression of three different models.
However, see the special large clock of 25cms below - auctioned by Lyon and Turnbull in November 2020
This pewter clock is model 0252, designed by Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co. circa 1902-05.
The clock is 16.8cm high.
This one has very art deco lines with the bars of abalone decoration.
This is sometimes known as “The Radio Clock” as it resembles a 1930s radio.
However, remember this clock was designed well ahead of its time in circa 1902.
Knox, the “Venturesome Modernist” again.
The clock is illustrated in “Archibald Knox” by Dr. Stephen A Martin, 2001 page 240.
