Excellent German Vienna Wall Clock

19th century
For Sale by Its About Time
Description

An exceptional example of a German 'Vienna' style wall clock. The case is walnut with superb bookmatched walnut-burr veneer, decorated with ebonised mouldings and particularly elegant finials to the top and bottom, as well as delicately carved spandrels mounted to the front, all in great condition. It is worth noting that Vienna wall clocks with such elaborate detailing are hard to come by, and this example is very well balanced in design. The two piece white enamel dial sits nicely in the centre of the glass panelled door, with beautifully intricate steel hands, and the gridiron pendulum holds an attractive brass bezelled pendulum bob with enamel centre, showing R and A, for retard and arrêt, slow and fast, the timekeeping being adjusted with the small nut to the bottom of the pendulum. The movement is spring wound and runs for 8 days on a full wind, striking on a gong the hour and half hour.

This German Vienna wall clock from 1890 follows Victorian style traditions. Constructed from dark walnut with glass, brass, and enamel, the case displays bookmatched walnut-burr veneer, ebonised mouldings, and delicate carved spandrels, complemented by turned columns framing the central glass door, an architectural pediment at the top with a pointed finial, and matching pendants hanging from the base. A white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and intricate steel hands sits above a visible gridiron pendulum holding a brass bezelled bob with an enamel centre marked R and A, accompanied by a small adjustment nut at the bottom. The piece measures 93 cm high, 37 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. Position this wall-hung timepiece on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The spring-wound movement runs for 8 days on a full wind, sounding the hour and half hour on a gong, while the glass door provides a clear view of the swinging pendulum and the decorative grain of the timber within the housing.

FAQs

Originating in Austria and Germany in the nineteenth century, a Vienna regulator wall clock is a precision pendulum timepiece enclosed in a glazed wooden case, historically used as an accurate timekeeping standard.

These clocks typically feature walnut or rosewood cases, glass door panels, brass mechanical movements, white enamel dials, and carved or turned wooden ornamentations.

Authentic examples feature precision pendulum movements, hand-carved architectural pediments, porcelain or enamel dials with black Roman numerals, and glazed side and front panels.

Mounting the clock on a narrow wall, within a hallway gallery, or above a console table adds vertical interest, structure, and historic contrast to contemporary living spaces.

Keep the movement free from dust by keeping the glazed door closed, ensure the clock is mounted perfectly level on the wall, and have the internal brass mechanism professionally serviced every few years.
