Antique Vienna Walnut Double Weight Wall Clock

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: London City Antiques

A fine quality Vienna regulator wall clock in a walnut veneered case with excellent colour and richly figured grain. The architectural case is elegant and well proportioned with ebonised columns turned finials and a shaped pediment giving it strong decorative presence.
 
The enamel dial with Roman numerals is crisp and refined retaining its original pierced hands and subsidiary seconds dial. The twin weight driven movement is typical of Vienna regulators built for precision timekeeping with the long pendulum and polished brass weights creating a striking visual balance within the case.
 
Vienna regulators were regarded as some of the most accurate domestic clocks of the 19th century often used in grand homes, offices and workshops where reliable timekeeping was essential. Today they are equally valued for their tall elegant proportions and the movement they bring to an interior making them a favourite with designers looking to add height, warmth and authenticity to a space.
