An elegant vintage Kienzle-dial granddaughter floor clock featuring a beautifully proportioned dark-stained wooden case with a graceful arched bonnet, decorative beaded molding, carved twisted side columns, and patterned inset side panels.
The upper bonnet houses a cream-colored dial with bold Arabic numerals, decorative hands, and brass-tone detailing. A distinctive elongated oval glass window provides a view of the pendulum, adding visual interest to the slender case.
The mechanical, weight-driven movement features a traditional Westminster chime sequence, playing progressively through the quarter hours. At the top of each hour, the complete Westminster melody is followed by the appropriate number of deep hourly strikes.
The clock was recently serviced by a clock technician, who corrected a sticking beat mechanism and cleaned and oiled the gears. It is currently running, keeping time, and performing its quarter-hour chimes and hourly strikes.
Believed to date to approximately the mid-1930s, based on the clock's family history and the assessment of a clock repair technician. Family-owned for more than 70 years.
Two clock keys are included.
Its compact proportions and traditional European styling make this an appealing decorative and functional addition to a living room, library, entryway, or study.
