An exquisite and authentic antique Gustav Becker mantel clock, made in Germany in 1936 and equipped with a Westminster chime mechanism. The clock is listed in the manufacturer's 1936 catalog as item number 1040. This elegant clock features a beautiful, arched wooden case, richly finished and adorned with carved decorative details along the base and top.
The clock retains its original brass dial, adorned with bold black Arabic numerals and ornate hands. Three winding arbors indicate the high-quality eight-day mechanical movement, which plays the Westminster melody on the quarter hours and strikes the hour with a rich, resonant tone—hallmarks of Gustav Becker’s renowned craftsmanship.
The hinged glass bezel opens smoothly for access, and the clock includes its original winding key. Gustav Becker clocks are widely regarded as some of the finest German timepieces of their era, prized by collectors for their precision, durability, and refined design.
