Biedermeier Vienna Regulator Wall Clock
It is a pleasure to offer a very fine true Vienna regulator wall antique clock made by Franz Bradatsch of Znaim (now Znojmo) which is located in the Czech Republic near to the border of Austria and was formally part of the Austrian empire.This clock can be dated circa 1845 which is quite early in terms of this type of clock
It is beautiful made and has very elegant and restrained proportions
Austrian antique clocks such as this are entirely hand made and finished by time served master clockmaker and should not be confused with the much cheaper mass produced German antique clocks.
Austrian clocks were only made for the most discerning customers (who could afford them) and took many months to complete individually.
Subsequently they are rare items and I have spent 30 years driving all over Europe to source these antique clocks,particularly the finer examples.
Unfortunately there are too many people selling modern reproductions to customers.
I offer a full money back guarantee as to the authenticity of my Vienna clocks.
I also welcome any expert appraisal whatsoever.
Obviously,any potential clients are very welcome to view the clock prior to purchase (or pay on delivery)to ensure that they are satisfied with their purchase
As you can see from the photographs the mahogany veneers used are very nice with excellent colour which is enhanced by contrasting boxwood stringing. The carved wood cresting is original..
The clock is 40 inches long , a maximum width of 11 inches and 5 1/4 inches deep .The width at the door is only 9 1/4 wide
The proportions are particularly pleasing as this is a very elegant clock with just enough adornments to make to clock decorative without becoming fussy.
The 8 day hand made weight driven time only movement is beautifully made and in perfect working order.. The wood rod pendulum has a brass backed knife edged bob which is in excellent condition..
The movement is mounted into the case by means of wooden brackets and seat board.
The 7 inch milk glass dial is quite exceptional being in outstanding condition with Fleur de leys decoration between the numerals . This type of dial is very rare indeed and virtually impossible to find in this condition and bears the name of the maker .The cast pie crust bezel is well detailed and retains its original gilding.
The condition is excellent and the finish is as good as anyone can possibly expect and has wonderful colour.There are some age related marks as you would expect on any item which is almost 200 years old but nothing else worth mentioning specifically.is ready to hang straight on the wall.
The proportions are perfect and is worthy of gracing the wall of the most discerning collector.
The sides of the case are glazed .
The original winding crank is present. Hopefully the images will show show interested parties all they need to see but prospective buyers are very welcome to view.
This clock is much nicer in the flesh as my photographic skills are very poor.
If the buy it now price is paid in full I will ,deliver the clock free of charge in England ,Wales and the Scottish lowlands and provide a 12 months guarantee.The movement will also be serviced
Should a lesser offer be accepted it will be a trade sale with the clock being sold as described and shipping costs being the responsibility of the buyer.
I will ship this clock worldwide .
