Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
By premier German clock makers Winterhalder and Hoffmier
~~ In superb condition throughout ~~
The clock was originally retailed by the prestigious jewellers Northern Goldsmiths of Newcastle on Tyne
The case is quite outstanding, made of fine flame mahogany with brass finials and brass inlaid quarter pillars, it is in lovely condition.
The only detriment to the case is a slight shrinkage crack in the veneer at the back of the top which you can see in the last photo, it really is not noticable unless you stand right over the top of the clock.
The original front glass door is set in a polished brass frame and is in perfect condition .
The clock is a quarter chiming ting tang clock which chimes once on twin gongs at quarter past the hour, it chimes twice on twin gongs at half past the hour and chimes 3 times at quarter to the hour. It strikes the full hour on a single gong. The gongs are very mellow and resonate beautifully for a very long time ,it sounds divine
Winterhalder and Hoffmier are considered to be the very best German clock makers of their time and their clock movements are the Rolls Royce of movements. As you can see from the pictures the quality of engineering is top drawer.
It comes with its original pendulum.
This clock is fully stamped with the Winterhalder and Hoffmier mark on the movement.
The original silvered dial is in lovely condition and measures 6" across.
This is without doubt one of the finest German clock movements you will ever see with the added refinements of fine front adjustment control and chime silence facility.
Genuine Winterhalder and Hoffmier clocks especially retailed by the Northern Goldsmith Company in this condition don't come along very often.
The movement has just been fully serviced so is in tip top condition and should give trouble free service for many years to come
It is keeping accurate time to within 1 minute a week.
This clock has obviously been highly prized and looked after, the condition is a credit to its previous owners.
Overall this is a very fine and beautifully proportioned original German bracket clock by the very best maker.
The clock comes with a full 12 month warranty.
Dimensions of clock: Height 14 inches Width at its widest part is 11.5 inches Depth 7 inches.
