Original Listing Description

Antique W Schonberger Wien Vienna Regulator Clock 2 Weights Great Pendulum Runs Strikes Great Wood Case Item Description Great W Schonberger Vienna Regulator clock for your buying consideration. Recently acquired this clock at an auction. Would make a great gift or keep it for yourself. This clock is just waiting for the right collector out there to match it up with the appropriate finials and topper. Would then be a clock worth in the $6K to $8K range. Or just enjoy it in the condition it is in now.This fine Antique Wall Clock is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a high end auction house or clock shop. We have been selling clocks out of our home for over 35 years. We are therefore better positioned to control our acquisition costs, keep commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that the high end auction houses and clock shops experience. The wood case still has a lot of its' original elegance. The shape the case is in is just amazing. No loose veneer, all the carved column pieces are still there and look appropriate to the clock, not replacements. The locking latch for the door is still on the the side are still there. Hinges for the door are in working order. The clock is missing the 3 bottom finials, the two top finials and the topper. Schonberger clock cases did not come with lower wall levelers to flush it out. the back panel on this clock really shows a lot of age, but not cracked or repaired at all. Nice intact front and side glass pieces on this case. The glass appears to have waviness to it. All the glass is intact with no blistering or cracks. The clock face is made of porcelain and has "W Schonberger & ?ie" on it with "WIEN" below it. The lower part of the "W" in Wien is illegible. There is a small crack in the face emanating from the right wind arbor hole. Wenzel Schonberger was an Austrian clock maker from the mid 1800s to latter 1800s. His clocks, especially in this exceptional condition, are very hard to find compared to G. Becker clocks. Selling the clock in running and striking condition. The clock movement was just serviced by Clock Doc. New braided brass cables were also put on the clock as on of the old gut ones was frayed badly. The pulleys on the cables, are probably made of brass, and have a very nice ornate design on one side of them. The weights and wind key look appropriate to the clock. The two weights are with the clock, their hooks match up in appearance. The brass weights still have a nice shiny finish to them. The wind key that comes with this clock does not have a wood wheel on it.The movement has the W Schonberger name on the face of the clock. I do not see a serial number or makers mark on the back plate of the movement. The movement looks to be in good shape, probably had the movement cleaned sometime in the past 25 years. The movement design and hanger for the pendulum matched up with other Schonberger movements I have found pictures of online. Interesting the movement just slides into place, it was not designed with a locking mechanism to hold it securely to the four pins like you see with a Becker movement.The strike hammer looks good, no obvious repairs to it. Great pendulum and bob on this clock that look appropriate to the clock. The exposed wood stained rod is intact and check out the nice finish still on the brass bob!The clock stands 36.25" tall, by 14-7/8" across (13.25" at the bottom), by 6-7/8" wide. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures. We are selling this clock in running and striking condition at this juncture, no warranty intended. There is no representation that the clock is in original condition, or will continue to be in working order. As can be expected when dealing with an antique clock, some adjustments may be needed after shipping to get the clock re-running correctly again as they can be very delicate. If you have not had experience with old mechanical clocks before, we would suggest you steer clear. One really needs to have the patience, and skill to work with these great works of art. They are not our modern plug in and go, or change the battery clocks. Please ask any questions relating to this matter, before you decide to purchase it.
