Triple Weight Vienna Regulator

$4,800.00

This is a gorgeous triple weight Vienna regulator in a walnut case.   The clock chimes out the “Grand Sonnerie” pattern on two straight deep tones gongs, meaning it counts out each quarter and hour every quarter. The double porcelain dial is in great condition and really looks tremendous in the case.  The three weights and pendulum bob are polished brass and really finish the look perfectly.  The very top of the head piece is suspect and may be a modern replacement.  It certainly is not unusual for that to happen with clocks of this age.  This is a large clock measuring about 52” tall.

This is the smallest of the five "Figure Eight" clocks with #6 being the largest. The dial still has the E. Howard designation but has wear and is very light but still legible. The clock was likely produced circa 1880 and is in excellent original condition. The weight is marked #10, the pendulum bob retains the pattern on the surface.  The glasses are both original to the clock. The original pendulum tie down is at the bottom of the backboard that hides the weight as it drops during the week. The original and signed movement has been professionally restored and runs beautifully for eight days on a single wind. It appears that the weight has fallen to the bottom of the case at some point in it's life and the result is a crack in the wood. This has been expertly repaired and restored. The dial has some wear marks commensurate with age. The bottom glass has slight loss of paint but you must look hard from the front to notice it. A very rare and exceedingly fine original clock that is difficult to find in this condition. The movement is a timekeeper only and very accurate, this is one of the many reasons this clock is so highly sought after. The chapter ring is 7.25" in diameter.  The case is 34" long.  Overall an outstanding example of a very rare, very fine antique clock. More photos are available upon request.
