A Late 19th Century Walnut Cased Vienna Style Domestic Regulator Wall Clock

A timeless example of Victorian-era craftsmanship, this late 19th-century Vienna regulator wall clock features a finely crafted walnut case with exquisite decorative details. Vienna regulators were commonly produced in Austria and Germany during the late 19th century. The clock’s elegant design includes turned side columns, a stepped cornice topped with sculpted finials, and a carved central crest adorned with a medallion depicting a classical figure, adding a touch of neoclassical influence.

The clock face displays Roman numerals encased in a brass bezel, complemented by ornate spade-style hands. The interior showcases a long brass pendulum, visible through the glass-paneled door, highlighting its precision engineering. The case’s interior is beautifully veneered with a chevron-patterned walnut back panel, emphasizing the artistry of its construction.

The marking visible in the image 4 is part of the regulator’s pendulum adjustment mechanism, often found in Vienna regulators or other high-quality clocks of similar periods. It appears to show the leveling or fine-tuning scale for the pendulum’s length, which adjusts the clock’s timing.

This Victorian Vienna regulator was designed not only as a functional domestic timepiece but also as a statement of refinement and taste, perfect for elevating any interior.
