Grande Sonnerie Vienna Wall Clock

19th century
Sold 17 March 2020 · Masons Antiques
This “Grande Sonnerie Vienna Wall Clock” found a buyer.

It was listed by Masons Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A true, original Grande Sonnerie wall clock, hand made in Austria. This is not a replica that was produced later in quantities in Germany by several makers.

The beautifully crafted walnut case, with a burr walnut veneered backboard and fielded panel, has a wonderful, deep, rich patina. It has a key locking glazed front door with a swept arch pediment and all original finials.

The 8 day, Grande Sonnerie movement has just been fully serviced by our BHI registered staff and carries our usual 12mths parts and labour guarantee. It strikes the quarters on one gong followed by the previous hour on another until striking the quarters and the hours at 12 O'clock. For this reason these clocks are often referred to as "blind man's clocks" as it is possible to know the time each quarter without actually seeing the clock.

The white enamel dial is in perfect condition as are the brass weights and pendulum. It has black Roman numerals and very fine cut hands. Dimensions shown include all finials.

A stunning example of these very rare clocks.

All cards accepted.
