This is an exceptional rare antique German burr walnut high precision regulator floorstanding longcase clock by the well known and respected clock maker Lenzkirch. The clock is a absolutely amazing regulator longcase with a stunning case and huge proportions
The case has a cathedral true regulator design with a pitched designed top to the hood with carved pediment, the case has 3 hinged doors with one to gain access to the dial and movement, one to the trunk to gain access to the pendulum and one to the base, all the doors have there original locks and use the same key. The top also has 2 side hinged opening doors to the sides which open to reveal access to the movement. The trunk has a glazed door to the front with original victorian glass through which the very heavy gridiron pendulum can be seen swinging which is in excellent undamaged condition through which the original regulator pendulum and brass weight can be seen on display, the door opens and closes as it should also with its original working lock and original key
The walnut case has a beautiful burr patina and beautiful colour to it which is acquired through age. Looks absolutely stunning as i am sure you would agree from the pics but looks 100 times more impressive in the flesh and the quality is absolutely second to none. The clocks huge proportions meant it was hard for me to display it as it did not fit in any of my rooms so as you can see i had to display it at the bottom of the stairs, hopefully you can still see how wonderful the clock is and how stunningly it displays
The case is in excellent condition for age with only a couple of light age discrepancies which is exactly how you want to see it, the clock is of huge proportions measuring 99 inches high
THE DIAL The clock benefits from its original 10 inch silvered diameter dial with a true centre seconds beating subsidary sweep seconds with original hands, the dial is in excellent near mint condition The dial is in good condition with its silvered finish being clean and the roman numerals all being engraved
THE MOVEMENT The clock benefits from its original high quality rare brass 8 day duration precision regulator movement with dead beat escapement and Harrisons maintaining power with fine beat adjustment to the crutch. The movement also benefits from a fine beat adjuster screw fitted to the crutch to back of movement for very fine beat adjustment. The regulator has an original heavy grid iron compensated regulator pendulum and original brass weight and the whole movement screams quality. The movement is signed on the backplate Lenzkirch
The movement is in excellent working order and keeps extremely good accurate time as expected from a precision regulator. The movement is in full working order which can be seen from the video above with a beautiful tick to the pendulum which is like music to the ears and absolutely stunning to listen to like the heart beat of the house
