Catalog Description:

C.1998, Hungarian replica of a Viennese mini Laterndluhr (style of 1810). This new clock has been finished to very high standards, and from a few feet away it looks antique. The cabinet maker picked the finest Carpathian burled elm for his veneer, along with satinwood edging. The silk thread movement is an authentic copy of a 2-day duration original, and with a delicate cast and engine turned bezel. You will need to make a key for this, as the hole in the dial is especially small. We had to use the small end of a carriage clock key just to wind for the photo. An original mini from 1810 would be many thousand dollars. Height 20" (52cm) Reserve $1650
