Description from the seller
Beautiful antique wall clock from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in Germany, probably dating from the second half of the 19th century.
This characteristic so-called Schilduhr or Wag-on-the-wall clock features a nicely lacquered wooden dial plate with a classic face bearing Roman numerals. The clock is finished with brass hands and decorative gold-colored/bronze corner ornaments (zwickels).
Particularly striking is the hand-painted landscape scene in the upper arch, giving this clock an authentic and decorative appearance.
The movement is complete and runs. It is a traditional weight-driven movement with chain drive. The original pendulum and weights are missing.
A charming and authentic collector’s item for lovers of antique German clocks, historical timepieces and country-style antique decoration.
