Catalog Description:

C.1890, German, Furtwaengler and Soehne, open well hall clock in good original condition, minor exceptions. Some one lost the original gong, and it has been replaced with a large unit, mounted to the case back with a piece of angle iron [looks OK]; on the rigHeight side of the top, 2 small pieces of picture frame molding is missing, but you have the pattern to use for restoration. Furtwaengler produced clocks, that to quote Karl Kochmann, "were executed with the best materials and finest workmanship". Note exceptional 3 dimensional weights and sunburst pendulum, plus fancy gilt and silver dial; there are 37 pieces of bronze trim on the case. 8-day duration, chain drive through two large pulleys. It is my belief that our estimate is conservative. Height 92.5" $3,750-$4,750
