A late 19th-century wall regulator clock, designed in the style of German or Austrian manufacturers. The case is constructed from walnut and walnut-veneered wood, featuring a glazed front door flanked by fluted pilasters with turned and carved foliate capitals and bases. The case is finished with a tiered pediment at the top and a shaped apron with a terminal finial at the base. The dial features a white enamel chapter ring with black Roman numerals and fleur-de-lis motifs positioned between the hour markers. The centre of the dial contains a decorative gilt-brass disc with engine-turned foliate patterns, two winding arbors, and ornate blackened steel hands. The eight-day mechanical spring-driven movement strikes on a gong. Internally, the clock is fitted with a brass-faced circular pendulum bob and a printed white beat scale located at the base of the case. A small handwritten paper tag is present inside the case.
Height: 60 cm (23.5 inches).
Condition report:
Not tested for working order. The case displays general wear, light surface scratches, and signs of age consistent with its late 19th-century origin. A small brass component is loose within the base of the case. The dial appears free of significant cracks or restoration.
