Beech frame and fusee-style back-box.
Original single train 8-day going-barrel (non fusee) movement of good quality.
Please ask if you need this detail of the frame

Information about the maker
Winterhalder & Hoffmier were prolific makers of clocks in the late 19th and early 20th C. They were particularly strong in the English market, because their clocks followed the English style and methods. They were based in the Black Forest area of Germany.

We estimate this clock was made approx 1890.

Condition Report
The beech frame has great colour and finish. It is in excellent condition. The painted 10" iron dial retains the original ground but the blackwork has been redone by someone with an unsteady hand! It can be left as it is but is better redone. Bezel, hands and pendulum are original. The movement is dirty and would benefit from an cleaning. The hanging plate (to the backbox) has been badly replaced.
Cost of Restoration
To redo all the blackwork £60.
To overhaul the movement and give 12 mths warranty £125
To replace the hanging plate £25
