C.1860, Austrian, Late Biedermeier Grand Sonnerie wall clock,

C.1860, Austrian, Late Biedermeier Grand Sonnerie wall clock, 1-weight with springs for the quarter and hour strike. Note this clock runs less than 2 days, and was meant to wound every day. The well made movement is made to the same high standards as other 8 day versions, simply does not run as long. The serpentine case is old, however has been stripped and refinished with deep analine dye and shellac. It could use some rubbing out. The pendulum stick is a replacement with old hardware and has broken again and been glued, and the suspension spring is absent. These clocks are well made and this one will respond to some additional TLC. Porcelain dial is good; tail to minute hand is absent, bottom finial is new. In original condition, it would be worth 1500 dollars. Height 42 inches
