AN EXTREMELY RARE VIENNESE MANTLE OR TABLE CLOCK WITH AN ENAMEL DIAL AND ALABASTER PILLARS. Circa 1805

 The dial signed "wibral in wien"and the back plate similarly signed and numbered "no 21". The 8-day movement of the quality associated with this eminent early maker. The whole mounted on an ebonised base under a glass dome. 

Mathias Wibral was one of the best early makers, a similar clock but with more ornate pillars is illustrated on page 152 of the Kaltenbock book. It is numbered 10. This is the first weight driven table clock we have been able to purchase for many years.
