LECHNER IN WIEN. AN EXTREMELY
ATTRACTIVE EBONISED AND BOXWOOD STRUNG MINIATURE DACHLUHR. CIRCA 1835.
An unusual and miniature ebonised Dachluhr. The tiny case with an ogee moulded pedimented roof with boxwood stringing and with a shaped front door reminiscent of a Laterndluhr.
The case itself is of three light construction with quite thin side glasses. The undercut base has another ogee moulding above it leading into the trunk, again with boxwood stringing to the top and bottom.
The small weight driven movement is suspended from the backboard via a brass mounting block with keyhole mountings. It employs a Graham deadbeat escapement and has a silk suspended steel rod pendulum with a small brass bob. The weight is suspended from a crossed out pulley with four crossings.
