Description
glass dial and engine turned bezel, in good condition, with a new glass dial. Examples similar to this clock may be seen in Frederick Kaltenb–ck's treatise titled Viennese Timepieces (1993), pages 212-215. Note that the numerals are painted bit thick for this time period, and they are applied around 4ƒ to the left giving a tilted appearance. The movement is early and original to the case and the original pendulum has nice high quality hardware and 2 piece brass bob. Note bottom mount beat scale. The case has had some minor bits of veneer replaced and has been professionally refinished. In original condition, this clock would have brought over $6000. In good running order. Height 38 inches
