This clock is powered by a weight on the time train and springs on the quarter and hour strike. The design is for a duration of 56 hours, but most folks wind these each day. The dial is a 2 piece; chapter ring has very slender numerals typical of the period, and with cast bezel with original gilding. Case originally had a little carved crest, which is absent. This clock came from Vienna; seems to run and strike fine. Especially note the original gilt metal trim on the case, which retains a wonderful finish. Height 39"
