288. $200
German one-weight Vienna, ca. 1850. A 40-inch
walnut case in the Transitional style with twisted columns and a simple decorative element on top; it is missing the bottom finial
and the door glass is modern. The two-part porcelain dial has some faint hairlines, simple yet elegant hands, and is signed
Xaver Steidl, München. The 8-day, time-only movement is unsigned and unmarked, with a wooden pendulum stick and a hollow bob;
it is running nicely, driven by a single brass shell weight. Simple yet elegant. $200–$400.
