Dwarf Vienna Regulator Wall Clock - Schonberger schonberger   vienna regulator %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
It is a pleasure to offer a very fine and rare Vienna wall antique clock in lovely original condition and manufactured circa 1860.
I have collected this particular style of Vienna regulator for 30 years and the few I have seen have been made by Wenzel Schonberger in Vienna
Austrian antique clocks such as this are entirely hand made and finished by time served master clockmaker's and should not be confused with the much cheaper mass produced German antique clocks.
Austrian clocks were only made for the most discerning customers (who could afford them) and took many months to complete individually.
Subsequently they are rare items and I have spent almost 30 years driving all over Europe to source these antique clocks,particularly the finer examples with originality being a paramount requirement.
Unfortunately there are too many people selling modern reproductions to customers.
I offer a full money back guarantee as to the authenticity of my Vienna clocks.I also welcome any expert appraisal whatsoever.
Obviously,any potential clients are very welcome to view the clock prior to purchase (or pay on delivery)to ensure that they are satisfied with their purchase.
As you can see from the photographs this is a very pretty clock which is of small size
.The weight driven movement is of 8 day duration and has dead beat escapement.It also has smaller winding barrels to assist with the duration.It is of the finest quality and fitted to the case by a latched plate.
The 5 spoked pulley is typically Schonberger as is everything else on this antique clock.Also typical is the dip in the bottom of the case and door in order to give maximum space for the pendulum to swing whilst keeping the case length as small as possible.
The case door and pediment are made of solid walnut which has been carved accordingly.The backboard and base have been veneered in a well figured walnut ..All the original finish is present and the patina is perfect..
Of course these clocks were expensive but he had no problem selling them to discerning clients.The overall condition is outstanding being original and well looked after.
There is ,of course,the odd age related mark as you would expect on any item of this age but the condition is a good as anyone could possibly expect.There is a previous hole in the backboard behind the pendulum where the case has been fixed to the wall and two smaller ones in the upper part of the backboard for the same purpose.
The 7 inch one piece dial is in excellent condition and interestingly has the name and address of his exclusive London retailer beautifully painted .The blued steel hands are exceptional and the clock is currently being professionally serviced by a member of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.
The sides of the case are glazed with original glass as is the front.
The original winding crank is present.
Hopefully the images will show show interested parties all they need to see.
This clock is much nicer in the flesh and looks very impressive on the wall.Prospective buyers are encouraged to view this clock if at at possible
The clock is in length from the very top of the case to the tip of the bottom finial.It is only 100 cm long It is a maximum of 46cm wide and 15 cm deep
.The proportions are perfect and is worthy of gracing the wall of the most discerning collector.

Hopefully the images will show show interested parties all they need to see but prospective buyers are very welcome to view.

This clock is much nicer in the flesh as my photographic skills are very poor.

If the buy it now price is paid in full I will ,deliver the clock free of charge in England ,Wales and the Scottish lowlands and provide a 12 months guarantee.
