Description / Expertise
D204. A very small and excellently proportioned Viennese wall regulator by Jan Friedr Golling who is recorded in Claterbos as working between 1815 & 1852.
The rosewood case has a lightly carved floral cresting and further carving to the top of the trunk door which also has applied carving. The sides of door are rounded. The attractively shaped base has further applied carved decoration.
The 4 ½" “one piece”enamelled dial is surrounded by a gilded cast brass bezel. The timepiece movement is latched onto a brass bracket fixed to the backboard and there is a wood rod pendulum with a 4" brass bob. The blued steel hands are finely executed.
Overall length, including cresting 31". (79 cms). £6,750.
