Large Altdeutsch One-Weight Vienna Regulator
|
|
|
|
|
When we first saw this clock the reaction was "Wow!" It is an extraordinarily beautiful and quite stately clock that you should seriously consider for your home or office.
Physical: The walnut/burl/ebony case, typical of the Altdeutsch era (1870-1895) is in excellent physical condition. The case measures a whopping 50"h x 15"w x 7"d. The 7" diameter porcelain dial is in excellent condition as are the highly decorative finials.
Mechanical: The very high quality unsigned, serial-numbered eight-day, time-only movement was professionally overhauled in 2009 and is in excellent running order.
Comments: We have quite a few photos of this beauty. Take a close look for yourself and then pick up the phone and make it your own.

Highly Carved
German 8-Bell Bracket Clock in Quartered Oak
for the English Market, c.1890
Signed "G.P. Monk ~ Southport"
|
|
|
|
|
We believe this clock was made in Germany for the English market. In this period the English and Germans were both making magnificent large bracket clocks with 8-bell movements. In general, both were of extremely high quality, with the Germans following both the English styles and methods. This clock is no exception to that. The cabinet is incredible. Tremendous attention was paid to detail throughout. Be sure to check out the pouncing behind the leaves and scrolls.
Physical: The highly carved quartered oak case is in excellent physical condition and retains the original finish. It most likely originated in the Black Forest area of Germany. It measures 14"w x 23"h x 9.5"d and has been cleaned and polished. The 6" silvered dial features original hands and gilded spandrels. There are a pair of selectors to choose a chime tune and to turn off the strike if you please. These clocks have such a charming sound we can't imagine anyone turning one off... even for overnight visitors in the house!
Mechanical: The eight-day triple fusee movement features a nest of eight saucer bells on which either the Westminster or Whittington tunes are played (they may also be turned off). The hour is struck on a heavy cathedral gong. The movement was professionally overhauled in 2009 and is in excellent running order. As is typical of German and English movements of the era, the plates of the movement are extremely thick, more like one might expect on a tallcase clock. These movements were built to last. This one is similar to those made by Winterhalder & Hoffmeier.
Comments: If you've been waiting for a bracket clock with just the right quality of carving detail, stop holding your breath and give us a call to make it your own...

Open Well Clock, c.1891

At first glance, a knowledgeable collector would certainly guess this was a Lenzkirch clock. They would at least be from the right part of the world as an origin, but definitely from the wrong maker! This clock is a Gustav Becker through and through. Respendent in its brass trim, this magnificent clock stands out above the crowd, regardless of pedigrees!
Unfortunately, the clock was hanging on a pegboard, so we've done our best to cut most of it out of the photos and had help with the front photo from our clock buddy, Craig Bates, in New Zeland... thanks, Craig!
Physical: The incredibly detailed walnut case measures 48" h x 19"w x 8.5"d. It recently received an exceptional professional restoration by one of the top guys on the West Coast who told us the case was essentially black when it arrived at his shop. Even he thought it was a Lenz. Several pieces of brass trim were re-cast in the restoration process as they were MIA. |

The midcase section is very interesting. There is an latch on the left side that lets the front door open. But there are also a pair of walnut ball-tipped pins, one on each side that, when pulled straight out, release the entire movement surrount, much like the bonnet on a tallcase clock, allowing it to pull straight out to provide access to the movement from the side. The full-length photos below show the clock with the bonnet on and off as well as a side view of the movement with the bonnet off.
The 7" diameter dial was re-silvered in the restoration process and is in excellent condition as is the original pendulum, which features a Victorian era girl on a swing. As you study the photos be sure to notice the beveled glass in the door. And note the "fish scale" roof above the dial and under the first-level architectural top (below the gallery top)... "You followin' me camera guy?"
Mechanical: The eight-day gong-strike movement was professionally overhauled in the restoration process and is in excellent running order.
Comments: This is one of those clocks where you notice something different each time you look at it. Why? Because you tend to examine it rather than just glance as it is a visually consuming piece of art. It will command a major presence in any room where it is allowed to rule. Will that be in your castle?
Packing/Shipping: Unless you want to come to us to pick up the clock it will require crating. That's the only safe way we know to transport it. Our crater, Tri-City Crating, has an exceptional track-record with our clients for exceptional packing and for coordinating delivery by qualified trucking companies. And their prices have always been exceptionally fair. We know you, too, will be pleased with their work in your behalf.

30-Day Biedermeier Period Vienna Regulator
Signed “ Suchy”
This Beidermeier period clock is a great example of the outstanding workmanship of one of Vienna's most famous clockmakers. Karl Suchy is listed in Kaltenböck as having been in business around 1866. Later examples of his clocks were signed Karl Suchy & Sohne, Wien (Vienna).
His clocks are prizes in many collections. This one is available to us only because a very high-end collector needs room for additional prized clocks. So that fact represents a wonderful opportunity for you!
Physical: The case, which measures 13.25"w x 55"h x 5.5"d is in pristine original condition. It has been French-polished to obtain the wonderful lustre that you can see in the photos. The 6.5" two-piece porcelain dial is signed "Suchy" and is in execllent original condition.
Mechanical: The 30-day, time-only movement, marked "7725" was professionally serviced in 2007, so it's in great running order and ready for years of great service for you. It is such a quiet runner that it hangs in the master bedroom of our consignor... who sleeps comfortably through the night without hearing the clock!
Comments: Here is an opportunity for you to own a significant Vienna regulator that will bring joy to all who see it. Give us a call to make arrangements for it to become yours!

Lenzkirch Cherub Mantle Clock, c.1890
Here's a beautiful and extremely clean Lenzkirch mantle clock that is coming out of the collection of a major player. We're proud to present it for your consideration...
Physical: The burled and gilded case measures 7.5"w x 15"h x 4.5"d. The finish on the wood is original; it has been polished and is in excellent physical condition; same with the gilding. The 3.5" diameter dial is in excellent condition and has "cartouche"-style numerals.
Mechanical: The 8-day time and bell-strike movement has serial number 715895 which you can see on the dating chart puts its date of manufacture at 1890. It has been professionally serviced and is in excellent running order. One very nice thing about this particular clock that is not on all the small Lenzkirch mantle clocks is that you can see the pendulum; most are blocked off so you only see the case.
Comments: This is a gorgeous small mantle clock that would work well on a bedroom chest or even on a bath counter. Lenzkirch collectors look long and hard to find such a treasure. Shouldn't it be yours?
