THIS IS AN AUSTRIAN GRANDE SONNERIE WALL CLOCK IN A TRANSITIONAL STYLE CASE MADE OF WALNUT SOLIDS AND VENEERS. THE 2 PIECE WHITE FIRED ENAMEL DIAL HAS ROMAN NUMERALS AND IS SIGNED BY THE RETAILER “FRANZ MULLER, WIEN” WHO IS LISTED IN THE VIENNESE CLOCKMAKERS BOOK AS BEING IN BUSINESS IN VIENNA BETWEEN 1851-1862, (THE CHAPTER RING APPEARS TO BE A OLDER REPLACEMENT). THE ORIGINAL HANDS ARE OF A VERY SLENDER AND DELICATE DESIGN. THE WEIGHTS ARE BRASS SHELLED LEAD AND HAVE THE TYPICAL DINGS AND DENTS OF TIME, AND ARE HUNG FROM ENGRAVED BRASS PULLEYS. THE PENDULUM HAS A WOOD ROD WITH A LARGE BRASS BOB. THE 8 DAY, 3 WEIGHT MOVEMENT IS UNMARKED AND STRIKES THE ¼ HOURS ON ONE GONG AND THE HOURS ON ANOTHER.
