 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
A rare mahogany Biedermeier thirty-day regulator clock. The case has nicely colored and figured mahogany veneer, as best observed on the backboard, and well detailed and modeled carvings around the glazed openings of the front door, at the top and the bottom. The two-piece porcelain dial has black Roman numerals, nicely cut steel hands and a cast ormolu bezel. The time-only thirty-day high quality movement is weight-driven, has a deadbeat escapement and sits upon its original seatboard that slides into two cheeks that are mortised into the backboard. The brass bound weight hangs from a nicely spoked brass pulley. The pendulum hangs by a knife-edge suspension that is mounted to the backboard, has a steel rod and a brass bound lenticular bob. The clock also still retains its original hold-downs, silvered beat scale and ivory handled crank. This clock is unusual because it is an example of the transitional period between the simpler earlier Viennese clocks with six-panes of glass and the later clocks that had more carvings and only three panes of glass. Inspired by the new designs, but not quite ready to embrace them completely, it has the best of both periods making it both rare and attractive.
