A Moorcroft Mackintosh design clock. The shape is based on a William Moorcroft clock case inspired by a design for Liberty & Co. by Archibald Knox. The clock's tubeline pattern was designed by Rachael Bishop as a tribute to Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The bottom is marked "WM" (William John Moorcroft) and ©1995. The cypher (key with double "M" for teeth) indicates this clock was produced in 2000.
