- Lot Description
Western Europe, Netherlands or Germany, ca. 19th century CE. A beautiful wall clock made of brass, pewter, gilt wood, and leaded weights, that operates with a verge escapement mechanism. The clock face has Roman numerals painted in black on the pewter face. The face is mounted on a red lacquer panel with wooden scrollwork decorating the top. The verso is completely open and shows off the mechanism that consists of a crown wheel, the gear shaped like a crown, and a lengthy chain with three leaded weights of different sizes hang from the bottom of this gear and drive the motion. The motion is repeatedly checked by a pair of metal pallets on a vertical shaft that stop the successive teeth. The verge escapement mechanism was invented sometime in the 1300s and persisted in clockmaking into the 1800s. This is a beautiful timepiece, and it is always interesting to see the inner workings of such simple yet complex devices! Size of face: 5" L x 3.5" W x 6.75" H (12.7 cm x 8.9 cm x 17.1 cm); chain: 74" L (188 cm)
Provenance: private J. P. collection, Rye, Colorado, USA; ex-Bill Buffinger collection, Hollywood, California, USA, purchased February 11, 2009; ex-Eron Johnsons Antiques, Denver, Colorado, USA
