Biedermeier Vienna Regulator Wall Clock %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
I have pleasure in offering for sale a very fine Grande Sonnierre striking true Vienna wall antique clock which can be firmly attributed to Wenzel Schonberger who is my personal favorite of all the Viennese clockmakers of this time.
I have seen quite a few antique clocks by this maker and never come across a poor example,however I have seen quite a few that are staggering in quality and design.His clocks are of superior quality to his contemporaries and this particular clock is no exception.
The case is veneered in the finest rosewood and double strung with boxwood and is a design typical of Schonbergers work.The carved cresting is present and the condition excellent.
The two piece enamel dial has a lovely pie crust bezel that retains the original gilding.The brass backed knife edge pendulum is in excellent condition as are the weights.
The 8 day duration weight driven is again of superb quality and functions perfectly having been recently restored by Master Clockmaker , Adrian Overton of Chesterfield.It has a complicated Grande Sonnierre quarter striking movement which has a strike/ silent facility..
The movement and dial are original to the case.Wenzel Schonberger was working in Vienna from 1847 to 1885 and became Burgermeister.
The images of this clock will show you all you need to know and I will be delighted to answer any questions from serious parties.Please note that the images are not particularly flattering and the clock is better in the flesh.
The overall condition is as good as you could expect from a clock of this age.
Please don't confuse this clock with the factory made German clocks from the late 19th Century.This clock was all hand made by a master craftsman who produced .
Please note that this is not a modern reproduction .I describe my clocks accurately and welcome any expert inspection whatsoever. I also offer a full money back guarantee as to authenticity.There are too many new clocks being sold as genuine and too many people eager to snap up a "bargain".May I suggest that if you do not have the knowledge to spot a fake then please find someone who can.I offer a full money back guarantee that this clock is genuine and old and is not a marriage.Genuine clocks may cost a little more money but,like most things in life,you generally get what you pay for.I welcome any professional inspection whatsoever and of course prospective buyers are very welcome to view the antique clock.
This clock is 53 1/2 inches tall, 14 inches at its widest and 10 1/2 at the centre and 6 1/2 inches deep.The dial is 7 inches in diameter.
I will ship this clock worldwide and take great care in packing well.
If the buy it now price is paid in full I will ,deliver and set up the clock and provide a full 12 months guarantee in England Scotland and the Scottish Lowlands
