We'll be sending out sale notices and special deals to our 'Favorites' customers. Huge and impressive vintage European Louis XVI style 22" mantle clock, a beautiful marquetry inlaid wood case with ormolu accents and immense appeal! Vintage yes, actually quite a bit newer than we've offered but it was sold to us as an antique and, after having it shipped from Europe, it'll be more cost effective for us to offer it here at a drastic mark down than to hassle with the dishonest seller. Wonderfully made though, we think that the marquetry case is actually of Italian make (after reading some and seeing images of similar pieces) with the movement by Hermle & Sons. Great Louis XVI style with the ornate ormolu accents, finial and feet! Huge clock face with figural ormolu center and enamel numeral plaques. Here's a little information we found online about the clockmaker: Nearly one hundred years ago, Franz Hermle began manufacturing and selling mechanical clocks. In 1922, Franz Hermle founded the Franz Hermle Clock Company in Gosheim/Wuerttemberg, Germany. Within ten years the company became known as one of the most modern and efficient manufacturers of clock movements in the clock industry. Franz Hermle and his sons' dedication weathered the effects of WWII and made Franz Hermle and Sohn, prosper while other companies capitulated. The founder, Franz Hermle, died in 1953 and left a modern and prosperous operation to his sons Gebhard, Alfred, Hans and Heinrich Hermle. They have continued to build the company into a worldwide leader in the manufacturing of clocks, and mechanical clock movements. Now in its third generation, Franz Hermle and Sohn employs over 500 people in 4 locations in Germany and an additional manufacturing facility, Hermle Black Forest Clocks, in Amherst, Virginia, USA. Excellent condition. As new :), as you can see in the images. All of the visual appeal of a fine old Napoleon III era mantle clock but at nowhere near the price. See pictures for measurements.
