VR-281 3 weight Late Biedermier

281 - 3 weight Late Biedermeier Vienna Regulator. Ah, the subdued complexity of the mid-Biedermeier period. In clocks from this time we start to see the visual exuberance that became almost overpowering in the Altdeutsche period. I personally love the hands from this period, and the hands on this clock in particular. And, with their two piece dials, they are much more affordable than the earlier pieces with their single-piece porcelain dials. Note the lovely flourishes to the top of the door columns, the ripple trim to the top of the case, and the beautiful dark veneers throughout. When I have had a chance to go through the case and the mechanism this piece will cost $6,000, delivered in the lower 48.
