Although S&P were a massive commercial company who had an enormous output they produced very few Grandfather clocks & I have only ever come across this one in 20 years of specialising in the Arts & Crafts Movement & there has been no period pictures found in any of their own trade catalogues or any images in old magazines or any other articles produced at the time they were manufacturing which would almost certainly prove that this was a commissioned piece, couple with the fact that I found it in Argentina where S&P exported many items to order & although it was the richest place in the world due to their beef exports at that time they didn't have an industrial revolution happening then so they came to Europe & purchased the best of what we had to offer.
