Antique Kienzle Black Forest Westminster Chime Clock Oversized Mansion Style

Antique Kienzle Black Forest Westminster Chime Clock Oversized Mansion Style. View My Other Items For Sale. This great looking clock was made by the Kienzle Clock Factory in the Black Forest Region of Germany, right around 1914. It has a very complicated (signed Kienzle) movement that appears mechanically sound and complete.

After winding the clock and setting it on a level surface we find that it runs and chimes well, with amazing sounding chimes. However, this is only an observation. This is another well cared for clock that probably spent its earlier days in a mansion or some other prominant dwelling.

As seen in the pictures, this is a very impressive looking clock. It is a bit oversized, measuring 23 long x 11. High x 8 ½ deep. In case you are not familiar with Westminster Chimes, these are the ones that play a tune every 15 minutes; 4 notes on the quarter; 8 notes on the ½ hour; 12 notes at the ¾ hour; and then the full 16 note tune on the hour, followed by the hour toll, i. 1 toll at 1:00, 2 tolls at 2:00, etc. The larger 6 ½ dial, brass bezel and glass crystal are also in nice condition. This clock comes complete with a key and the original pendulum. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem. All sales are final (with the exception noted below). It is nearly impossible to find one in "mint" condition. If a clock has damage from misuse, it will be noted. If a clock is running properly when it arrives, that is about the best we can do. All sales for this type of item are final. We try to describe everything exactly as it is and if we do something wrong, we will make it right.
