Very attractive all original Biedermeier style, Viennese regulator with a flat dial and pie crust bezel.
See Description and pictures
below:
**** SOLD! ****
Beautiful circa 1850 Biedermeier Vienna regulator in Rosewood case. This Vienna regulator is of classic design and proportions with a beautiful carved crest and matching tail. The single train movement is provided with a dead beat escapement, maintaining power, and beat regulation. The unsigned ‘ one-piece’ porcelain dial has fine Roman numerals, delicate blued steel hands and a ‘pie-crust’ bezel. The pendulum has a wood rod and the brass cased weight is supported by a most attractive pulley. The delicate key has a wooden handle.
This is one of the most original (and rare) antique Vienna regulators you will ever see, and it is in very good running condition. 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 and bottom carving. It is 12" wide at it's widest. The case has banding strips along the top of the door window and across the top of the case. These banding strips are often of a contrasting color (light colored strips are called "satin banding"), but these strips are rosewood making it even more unusual!
There are no extra holes in the backboard under the mounting plate, so this is certainly the original movement. 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 appears to be original. The bottom carving also appears to be original.
Caveats: There is a small veneer chip out of the lower left side of the door. There is slight damage to the right side very top back corner. The movement is very slightly off center to the door, due to some slight warpage of the backboard over it's 150 year life. There is a small chip in the porcelain dial by the winding hole (see pictures). Part of the crown has been broken some time in the past, and glued back together. The glue joint is nearly invisible. Most people would not even mention these very small flaws, but I can't help myself!
This clock is in terrific shape, it runs well, and keeps good time. This clock would be a wonderful addition to your collection.
