C.1855, Austrian, Amand Heide, Late Biedermeier Grand Sonnerie wall

clock in a superb serpentine case with original finish. The movement was designed to run for 56 hours, but most folks wind these models daily. The weight on the center train is for accurate time keeping, and with springs for the quarter and hour trains (strikes full sequence every 15 minutes just like a weight model). Note finely detailed hands and unusual pulley. The only minor flaws we note are a small chip where the bottom grommet fits into the dial center (nearly invisible), and absence of a small fret top which would have fit in 2 vacant holes. An especially nice looking clock. Height 39 inches
