Last edited January 4th, 2008
Very attractive Late Biedermeier style, Viennese 2 weight regulator with a porcelain dial and pie crust bezel.
See Description and pictures
below:
**** SOLD ****
Beautiful circa 1860 Late Biedermeier Vienna regulator in Rosewood case. This Vienna regulator is of classic design and proportions with a beautiful carved crest and tail. The double train movement strikes on the hour and half hour and is provided with a dead beat escapement and beat regulation. The unsigned porcelain dial has fine Roman numerals, delicate blued steel hands and a beautifully detailed ‘pie-crust’ bezel. The pendulum has a wood rod and the brass cased weights are supported by most attractive pulleys. The movement has been completely restored to like original condition and is ready to run for many trouble free years.
This is a most rare antique Vienna regulator, as very few of the Late Biedermeier style Vienna regulators had the two weight movements.
Click on the pictures below for a high resolution picture. Some of these pictures may take a quite a while to load if you do not have high speed access. Below the pictures is a more detailed description.
The clock is approximately 43" long including the crown. It is 12" wide at it's widest. The case has a banding strip along the bottom, above the tail carving. These banding strips are often used on the Biedermeier period clocks, and less so on the late Biedermeier and transitional period clocks. They are usually of a contrasting color and thus they are called "satin banding"!
The dial is nearly perfect. The pendulum stick is made from wood. The front and back of the pendulum bob are both brass. The carved crest and tail are well proportioned and appropriate for the period, but are later carved piece. The glass is old wavy glass.
Caveats: The wall stabilizers appear to be old, but they are not the originals. Other holes can be seen on the backboard where the original stabilizers were attached. As mentioned above, the crown and tail carvings are later. The weights are proper, but also appear to be later replacements.The door has a key lock, but the lock no longer works. It was replaced at some time with the more standard hook arrangement. These are not unusual considering it's 150 year life.
This clock would be a wonderful addition to your home or collection.
