This triple weight Viennese Regulator was made by Johann Greiner in Graz, Austria as is indicated on the dial, circa 1885. The case measures a full 38.5" in length, 11.25" wide at the top, 10.25" wide at the base, and 5.25" deep (there are glass panels on the sides of the clock). Shipping dimensions are 38.5" x 11.25" x 5.25" and 22 pounds. The door measures 30.5" and has brass corners around the dial and at the bottom of the door. The dial is metal and is in excellent condition. The dial measures roughly 8" square.

The case is made from Ash and is in great condition with flowers carved into the wood on either side of the dial. The door is locked by a key. There is a very interesting "ribbed effect" around the top of the clock and around the bottom of the clock. There are also glass panels on the sides of the clock.

The Pendulum bob, weights, and dial all have flower elegantly engraved in them that match the flowers on either side of the dial.

The movement is a Grande Sonnierie, so it chimes on the hour, half-hour and quarter-hours on two rods (i.e. it chimes once for every quarter hour and then repeats the hour). So at the top of the hour the clock will strike 4 times to indicate that 4 quarter-hour periods have passed, and then will strike the hour, at the 45 minute position, it'll chime three times and then strike the hour, etc.

The mounting for the movement on this clock are four posts that fit - and lock into place - in four holes in the back plate of the movement. Be sure to remove the weights before removing the movement, also the pendulum is fixed to the back of the clock. The clock is all original.

The price for this piece is $1,776.00
