Perfect for the hallway and neatly-sized, this ‘Vienna-style’ wall clock takes up little space, being only 15 cm deep, yet provides a characterful focus at home. Made by the highly regarded clockmaker, Lenzkirch, manufacturers of excellent Black Forest clocks in the 19th and early 20th Century, the high quality ‘eight day’ duration movement offers countwheel striking on each hour and half hour on a coiled blued-steel gong and is in perfect working order.
Lenzkirch was founded in 1851 using the latest manufacturing techniques to recreate hand-making. This clock is a very good early example of this factory’s output. It bears the Lenzkirch trademark stamp and is numbered 26404 which dates it to between 1852 and 1855.
Restored in our workshops we can attest to the quality of the movement and it represents outstanding value for money when compared to original Vienna-made clocks. This particular clock case is beautifully veneered with ebonised details. It features front and side glass to allow the pendulum and movement to be visible in operation. There is some minor cracking in the veneer that is commensurate with its age but nothing to detract from its appearance and Lenzkirch was well known for the quality of its cases. The blued steel hands are original and have been re-blued by us and the 14 cm dial is clear and virtually unmarked. This clock is in excellent condition with a beautiful shine and a wonderful colour. It is a privilege to be able to offer such a genuine and original clock for sale.
This clock has been fully serviced in Southern Clocks’ workshops. A full photographic record of the work done is provided as part of the sale and the clock will be set up in the purchaser’s home and maintenance instruction provided as required.
This clock is 93 cm (3ft 1inch) high, 26 cm (10 ¼in) wide and only 15 cm (6 inches deep) and is available for sale at £1,275.
Southern Clocks is always delighted to set up our clocks and provide assistance in helping new owners live with their clocks.
