Last edited December 6th, 2004

Very attractive and original Biedermeier style, Viennese regulator with a flat dial and pie crust bezel.

See Description and pictures below:

SOLD!

Item number B0140.

Beautiful circa 1840 Biedermeier Vienna regulator in Rosewood case. This Vienna regulator is of classic design and proportions with an old carved crest and very unusual tail. The single train movement is provided with a dead beat escapement 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 steel rod and the unusually small brass cased weight is supported by a most attractive pulley. The delicate key has a wooden handle. This is a very original (and rare) antique Vienna regulator, and it is in very good running condition. Click on the pictures below for a high resolution picture. In most of the pictures I have removed the head piece because I think the clock looks better this way. 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 banding strips along the door, all the windows and across the top of the case. These banding strips are of a contrasting color and are generally called are called "satin banding".

The dial is one piece porcelain. The pendulum stick is made from steel, which was only done in the very old and highest quality clock movements. The front and back of the pendulum bob are both brass. The carved crest appears to be an old replacement. The bottom has no carving, but appears to be original.

Caveats: The finish on the backboard is a little rough and there are a few age cracks in the dial.

This clock is in terrific shape, it runs well, and keeps good time. This clock would be a wonderful addition to your collection.
