Viennas JULY 2019
324. $300
“Kienzle / Schwenningen, Germany”, two weight Vienna Regulator,
ca 1888-1916. The large and very heavy walnut case is 51 inches tall, has elaborately carved and turned half columns on the
door, carved pieces on the base, outstanding carved top piece, and four glasses. The porcelain dial is near perfect, has two very
nice Vienna hands but the brass inner dial has some tarnish that needs attention. See storage comments at item #322. It has a correct
pair of brass weights, brass pulleys, brass pendulum, brass dial ring, and porcelain beat scale. Inside is an old winding key. The
8-day movement is mounted to a metal back plate. We did not hang the weights to check for running as it had not been out of its box
for 50 years. It strikes on a long iron rod. This is a very desirable clock and you must agree the minimum makes it affordable however
you will need to clean and polish the complete and original case, service the movement, and clean the glasses. This clock would have
gone for $2000 or more a short time ago. $400-$600.
