Description:

Incorporated in this superb overall design are a wide variety of Gothic details in several materials.
In the base are the most beautifully hand-carved, folded book pages (out of solid oak).
The middle section, which consists of oak and mint glass, a Gothic church-design window, and the exceptional Gothic brass metalwork around it, is among the best you will ever see.
In the middle of that amazing brass metalwork (on the left side) is the key hole. This holds the original antique key to this door, via which the top-quality lock will open and close perfectly. The upper section of this clock starts with a striking hand carved Gothic leaf pattern with a medieval coat of arms in the middle.
Above that is a square section with a perfect circular window in the middle through which you can tell time from the gorgeous and superb-condition dial face.
Have you also noticed the four stylized ‘birds-descending-from-the-sky-patterns’ in each corner of this square section? They, of course, symbolize the Holy Spirit. The mint, blackened brass dial hands too could not be more Gothic with their ancient quatrefoil symbols and Gothic spires at the outer ends. Finally, the jagged Medieval Tower ‘roof’ with the brass Gothic rosettes in the front is like the icing on the cake of this unique Gothic Revival masterpiece.

This clock runs extremely smoothly and is very precise, and it strikes perfectly on time as well. The warm and deep gong sound is relatively loud, and if you don’t like or want a gong sound, then you can simply pull a lever and it will be silent for as long as you want.

Because of how well this entire clock was made (and one could certainly call this a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’), this has also contributed to its current, excellent condition. Everything that is top-quality made will last a lot longer and will be purchased by people who understand and, therefore, more (than most) respect what they are buying and use and treat it accordingly.
The quality is among the best we have ever collected. And another subtle detail are the large hinges via which the large front door still opens and closes as perfectly as it would have when this clock was handcrafted all those years ago. These thick brass hinges are silvered on the inside.

If you have an eye for special antiques, then you will immediately recognize several things about this standout clock.

Circa 1910

The overall design is simply stunning and perfectly Gothic in style.
