The two brass lantern clocks in the foreground of this photo were made by Smiths. Their model name is: Nell Gwynne, which was part of Smiths range of classic and reproduction clocks.
The left lantern clock has a mechanical eight day, seven jewel movement which was made between 1950 and 1961.The newer lantern clock on the right has a Mark 4 battery movement (electro magnet design) - produced from 1970 to 1977.
The clock in the background is a Junghans mantle clock and the red vase is an engraved Chinese lacquer vase with pictures of dragons, which are considered a symbol of good luck.
Reference: Smiths Domestic Clocks by Barry Smith. There is a picture of a Nell Gwynne clock on the cover of this book.
