C.1850, Austrian, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie Wall clock in

C.1850, Austrian, 3-Wt Grand Sonnerie Wall clock in good condition. This transitional style clock never had finials, and despite its severity, shows the increasing desire for extra flourishes in the case. The movement, with steel rod pendulum and fancy cast bezel is original to the case, and the original seat board broke on one side and has been reinforced (case back is slightly warped and caused the corbils to spread). Noteworthy are the delicate pierced hands and finely spoked pulleys. The key lock is present, but the key is lost and the post was moved to the side of the case to facilitate closing (can all be corrected). Minor nicks in rosewood veneer are not bad and the clock should clean up nicely. Height 45 inches
