Dating from around the 1950,s a beautiful key wind anniversary Dome Clock featuring hand painted flowers on a black background as pictured. NOTE : this is a vintage key wind clock-not a more modern quartz variant. The pretty dial features gold numerals, and hands, and of course a profusion of old fashioned roses. The floral decoration continues, with matching bouquets adorning both the twin support columns, and the circular base. An elegant crown of three turned brass finials completes the picture. Hanover Made in Germany appears on the dial As can be seen in the photos the clock displays beautifully and the brasswork glows warmly. Overall it is in very nice condition for a clock of this vintage. The quality key wind mechanism is working perfectly, and has recently been cleaned and oiled. Stamped on the brass back is Konrad Mauch, SCHWENNINGEN AN Germany’. Anniversary/400 day clocks are so named because they were designed to require winding very infrequently i.e. once per year on ones wedding anniversary or other such annual occasion. They are much-loved for the mesmerizing motion of their pendulums, a smooth and peaceful rotating action that occurs in perfect silence. The suspension wire holds the four brass pendulum balls. There is a mechanism to ‘lock the pendulum’ for the purpose of safely moving the clock without the pendulum swinging/moving. The base of the clock is brass with three height adjustable feet for accurate levelling. The clock is protected by its original glass dome. This remains in flawless condition, no chips, cracks or repairs. With its glass dome in place, the clock measures approx 24cm in height It comes complete with a winding key .
