About the Item

A beautiful antique turn of the century Gustav Becker weight driven Regulator wall clock. Features a long walnut case accented by a central trophy urn over a caryatid mount and a large glass front flanked by Grecian style fluted columns with scrolled capitals. Interior opens to a roman numeral clock face trimmed in brass with scrolled hands and a second hand dial. The face is marked with Gustavs Classic marking showing the crown over and anchor and his initials. The back of the face is also marked with his 1877-1926 mark. Interior case backing is matchbook walnut burl. Sides are glass panelled allowing the pendulum and works to be seen from all angles. One of the better quality/best-known German clockmakers from the mid to late 19th century was Gustav Becker. Born in 1819, Becker trained as a clockmaker in Germany and Austria. In 1850 he opened workshops in Freiburg, Silesia, Germany in 1850. Initially, Becker struggled with untrained help, but won the "Medaille d’Or" for design at the 1852 Silesia Trade Exposition. Becker incorporated that first medal and his initials, G.B., into his trademark and, as you will see below, into many components of his clocks, from movement mounts to wall standoffs to beatplates and pulleys. This award gave him the recognition that he needed to attract skilled craftsmen to his workshops. Numerous awards and certificates followed, from trade expos as far-flung as Australia and as close to home as Vienna. He was very adept at leveraging this new-found notoriety to the benefit of his business enterprise. Dimensions: 16.5" x 7" x 54" h
