Antique American Clocks January 2020
467. $400
Lenzkirch bracket clock, 1891-1892. This 22.5-inch dark oak case with a gothic shape and spires holds
a signed 8-day, time-and-strike movement that strikes on two cathedral gongs on the quarter hours. The serial number (934868)dates it to 1891-1892. No missing or broken finials, the finish is old but not too dark to hide the grain. The silvered
dial chapter ring sits on a brass backplate with gold ornamentation above that matches the brass side screens. The door glass
is old. The clock is running, a bit tentatively, and striking on schedule. I found one good match on LiveAuctioneers that
sold for $750 in 2010. $400-$600.
