Description
in an outstanding walnut case with burled backboard and burled tail piece, and with 3/4 smooth columns with Corinthian capitals. The movement is made to high standards and with a unique cast bezel having a lace pattern that we have not seen before. The carved wooden top crest has been re-gilded professionally. The pulleys are also well made, each one engraved with two flowers on the front section. And with original ivory handle crank (see image). Key lock door has no key. The wooden corbels (slide brackets) have come loose and need a little glue to secure them. From a workmanship point of view, this is certainly the nicest Vienna we are selling today. Height 54" $4000-4500
