Description

Clockwise is proud to offer for sale this extremely good quality mid-Victorian small oak bracket clock. The clock has a restored decorative brass dial and 4.5 inch diameter silvered chapter ring with slow-fast mechanism and is another fantastic Winterhalder and Hofmeier eight day ting-tang movement which strikes the quarters, halves and hours on two gongs (one gong at the hour for the full hour). The movement has benefitted from a full overhaul and comes with my three year guarantee as standard. The revived case with a stepped base is in lovely condition standing on original ogee brass feet with original brass urn finials to the front corners of the case and the dial is encased within a solid brass bezel with the original bevelled glass.

Winterhalder & Hofmeier were considered the finest clockmakers of the Victorian era and were based in Germany’s Black Forest region. The company was established in 1810 and in 1850 Anton Hofmeier joined the company, who was himself a clockmaker and relative to the Winterhalder family. The company then became known as Winterhalder and Hofmeier. This is the medium size of this case style available standing 36cms tall.

Clockwise specialises in the sale and restoration of longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

I can happily offer nationwide 48 hour tracked and insured delivery and any question you may have about your considered purchase I will be happy to answer. Please ask for a quote.
