C.1908, German, Gustav Becker, 2-Weight regulator wall clock
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
serial number 2,203,545. This clock is made of solid oak (even the backboard) and to the highest standards. It is VERY heavy (50 lb.) and requires a strong nail to hold it. The full turned columns on the door are accented with Noveau influence bases and capitals, and a finely carved top of scrolls and floral designs. The best words I can describe are "understated elegance". The movement has a silvered brass dial on which the numbers have been touched up, and retains original hands and pulleys; movement is original to the case. Strikes the hours and halves on a large iron Gloria gong. Height 44" $800-1200
