Description from the seller
Antique Kienzle Wall Clock – Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) – Circa 1910-1920
Description: We are proud to present an authentic example of early 20th-century German horology. This clock was manufactured by the legendary Kienzle Schwenningen factory during the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) period. It is not merely a decorative piece, but a technically refined instrument with a century of history.
Technical Specifications & Features:
Movement: Original German Kienzle movement. It has undergone a full service (overhaul), including cleaning, oiling, and calibration. The clock is in excellent working order and keeps time accurately.
Striking Mechanism: A melodic chime system with 3 hammers and 3 resonating rods. It produces a deep, noble sound characteristic of pre-1920s models.
Pendulum: Heavy lens-style pendulum featuring a precision adjustment scale on the regulating nut, allowing for perfect timekeeping adjustments at home.
Case: Crafted from solid wood, preserving its natural grain and texture. Features a classic, dignified design with hand-carved decorative elements on the crown and brackets.
Glasswork: The lower part of the door features an exquisite beveled glass vitrail. The faceted edges beautifully refract light, emphasizing the movement of the pendulum.
Dial: Clean, minimalist light dial with clear Arabic numerals, ensuring excellent readability.
Dimensions & Weight:
Height: 78 cm
Width: 33 cm
Depth: 17 cm
Weight: approx. 7 kg
Condition:
The clock is in excellent collector's condition. The case has been carefully cleaned and shows no signs of active woodworm. The mechanical movement requires no further investment—the clock is ready to be enjoyed immediately after wall mounting.
Historical Context:
Before the 1920s, Kienzle was one of Europe’s largest and most innovative clockmakers, rivaling Junghans. Models featuring beveled glass windows were considered prestige items, typically adorning the studies and living rooms of affluent households.
