Hanging Clock
Manufactured in 1880 (according to the year of production indicated on the movement). Dimensions are: h:100 cm, w:36 cm, d:19 cm. The wooden base cabinet is divided into a space for the clock movement (enclosed by glass doors with a circular opening) and a space for the pendulum (open). The upper profile cornice has a removable decorative structure, as does the lower part of the cabinet. It features rich carvings and very high-quality brass accessories (coat of arms in the attic, central motifs, etc.).
During the restoration, the disassembly of metal parts including the pendulum, movement, doors, and loose elements was carried out. This was followed by sanding of the decorations and clock, application of shellac, and color unification. The surface finish was done with shellac and wax, and the clock was subsequently reassembled. The hardware also underwent complete cleaning, treatment, and conservation, carried out by Dagmar Pícová.
The clock movement by Lenzkirch - no. 26 (serial no. 574151) comes from the first German clock factory founded in 1850 by Hans Georg and Ignaz Shchöpperle. A gradual transition from small-scale production to an industrial joint-stock company.
