With that head tube, I'd guess that it was a custom frame. I had a King of
Mercia years ago and it was a fine ride until it and I were hit by a car.
There may be a serial number on the bottom bracket and I think Mercian may
be able to shed some light on the head tube.

Can anyone explain what exactly “stove enamel” is and how it differs from paint?
Is it just a form of enamel that hardens better by baking?

Rich, thanks for your response. The paint givens the impression of a bit
more depth and glow. I love the aesthetics of bikes and get pleasure from
glancing over at my bike as I work (this includes my Clem H) that I mainly
use for commuting.
Best,
Andy

Very nice Andy. What a find! I've always liked Mercians but never owned
one. Grant referenced Mercian's influence in one of his two recent Blahgs.
I'm curious. How do you like the "stove enamel" finish and how does it
compare to conventional wet paint? Thanks very much for sharing the images.
Andy, you are a lucky person. It's gorgeous! And that's what I call a
beautiful fork. I love the chrome on top, the white outline of the lugs,
the chrome of the fork curve into the front axle and the swirly details.
Outstanding.
