Description
This clock is nearly identical to a clock pictured in Rick Ortenburger's book, Vienna Regulators and Factory Clocks (1990), page 78, which top was used as a pattern for this one (nicely carved) Retains original dial with pie crust bezel, the dial center with worn but legible signature: Josef Kirch, in Wien. The movement has a 5 wheel train (winds to the left), is of high quality, with seconds hand and is running well (an important feature of a long running clock!). The serpentine case has been attractively polished to a high sheen; note original rear hanger has been moved down 1 inch to get new bite in wood. Height 51 inches
