Large Industrial Tower Clock Face

This is a significant oversized industrial clock face, likely salvaged from a tower, church, or railway station. It is constructed from a heavy circular metal sheet, finished with a weathered white/off-white enamel or paint. The face features prominent oversized Roman numerals hand-painted in black, which exhibit significant flaking and losses. The clock includes two large, ornate fleur-de-lis styled hands, currently detached or misaligned, which appear to be made of gold-toned or brass-plated metal. Physically, the item shows extensive signs of age and exposure; heavy rust and oxidation are present around the entire perimeter rim and bleeding into the face from various mounting holes and scratches. There is a notable square patch or repair plate visible in the center area, and a puncture hole is located near the six o'clock position. The overall craftsmanship suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century origin, designed for long-distance visibility. The heavy gauge of the metal and the scale of the hands indicate high-quality industrial fabrication intended for outdoor architectural integration. The patina is authentic and deep, characteristic of decades of environmental exposure.
