Item Number J019:
CIRCA 1870 GERMAN SERPENTINE STYLE REGULATOR .
Price Reduced!**** $1000 USD plus S&H!****
Beautiful circa 1870 Vienna regulator in the Serpentine Style. This Vienna regulator is of classic design and proportions.
I've had this gorgeous vienna regulator in my collection for about ten years, and purchased it from an elderly collector of advanced quality vienna regulators who lived in my region. He had owned this piece for a number of years himself. Probably it is German rather than Austrian. I base this on the type of movement mount it has, which uses metal slides with side thumbscrews. I believe the movement to be original to the case.
The porcelain dial which boasts a subsidiary seconds bit is in quite good condition, with a few flaws reflecting its age, such as a few "freckles" between the Roman numerals 9 and 10, a faint spiderweb hairline between the one and two and a crack in the porcelain running through the number four. This eight-day movement counts the hour and strikes once every half hour.
The shape and finish of the case are absolutely stunning! I have received compliments about its "presence" on the wall from multiple collectors who have visited my home. Two clock collectors who are also gun fanciers have compared the finish to that found on the stock of a fine rifle. Typical of effects of time on wood, there are several age cracks at the top of the serpentine-shaped door and one at the bottom. Wife acceptance factor for this vienna regulator should be off the charts.

All-in-all an impressive antique wall clock, largely original and at a great price!
Approximate dimensions are 45 inches from top finial to bottom finial, 15 1/2 inches at the widest and 5 3/4 inches at the deepest.
There is a metal beat indicator plate which is a replacement, while the top is believed original. If it isn't it certainly matches the shape and finish of the rest of the case.
The clock ran until recently but has stopped. Most likely an adjustment and cleaning are called for.
Price is now $1100 US dollars in US funds drawn on a US bank, in the form of a money order or cashier's check. Sorry, no COD's, sales to "third parties" or on approval. Shipping to addresses in continental USA. All shipping/packing charges will be extra and packing handled by a professional pack-and-ship center. Generally, expect their packing and shipping charge to be $200-300 for standard ground service.
