Description from the seller
Antique Junghans Wall Clock – Germany – 1890/1920 – Decorated Pendulum – Bell Chime – Working
An elegant and imposing antique wall clock by the prestigious German manufacturer Junghans, a historic company founded in 1861 in Schramberg, Germany, renowned for the quality of its mechanical movements.
The clock is believed to date from between the late 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century (1890–1920).
The case, made of wood with a dark mahogany-toned finish, features a refined architectural design with turned side columns, molded frames, decorative details, and a striking carved crest at the top with botanical motifs.
The circular dial features black Arabic numerals, elegant decorative hands, and a gold-tone metal bezel. The distinctive Junghans logo is clearly visible at the top, depicting an eight-pointed star with the letter J in the center.
The hand-wound mechanical movement bears the marking “Germany,” visible in the photographs.
The pendulum is of particular interest, embellished with elaborate metal decoration featuring floral and architectural motifs, which gives the clock considerable aesthetic appeal.
Operation and chime
The clock is in perfect working order, keeps time correctly, and strikes the hours and half-hours.
The chime produces a pleasant, deep sound, similar to that of a bell, characteristic of traditional mechanical clocks.
Complete with key for winding by hand.
