Late 19th Century German Two-Weight Vienna Regulator Wall Clock - An antique German wall clock in the Vienna Regulator style, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. While the maker's mark is not clearly visible, the craftsmanship is consistent with renowned manufacturers such as Gustav Becker or Junghans. The clock features a mechanical weight-driven movement powered by two brass-cased weights. The walnut case is elaborately carved, featuring a pediment with a central shell motif and a carved eagle finial. The architecture of the case includes fluted side columns with ebonised accents and a decorative lower bracket terminating in a turned finial. The white porcelain dial displays black Roman numeral hour markers, a subdial for seconds located below the 12 o'clock position, and ornate black metal hands. The movement is visible through the glazed front door, which also reveals a large circular brass pendulum. Dimensions: approximately 115cm x 42cm x 18cm.
