About the Item

25" Japanese Ebony Striking Stick Pillar Wall Clock Here I'm offering a very good quality striking stick clock or Shaku-Dokei. The ebony wood case has a removable glazed hood with a lift-out front door, two fabric-backed gilt-brass pierced frets to the sides, a scale at the front and a drawer for the key at the bottom. The ebony hardwood case is made of solid rosewood and it shows beautiful grain of the wood. Mounted to the backboard is the gilt-brass going movement with finely cut, turned and spoked gear work, turned brass baluster columns at the corners, an elaborately engraved fretted front plate and a verge escapement that is regulated by a small pendulum with a turned, adjustable lenticular bob. A separate key wound striking mechanism acts as the weight and drives the one-day time mechanism. This is a quite large Japanese stick pillar clock, 24.5" overall, bigger than most stick pillar clocks in any collection. The engraved gilt-bronze time scale is fastened top and bottom by two large turned screws, has an engraved brass scale set at the edge, has engraved silvered 'hour' characters on shaped plates and brass 'half-hour' markers. The pierced and engraved hand is carried by the striking mechanism and points to the different characters as it descends through the day. The backs of the 'numerals' extend into the case and trip the striking mechanism at the proper intervals. It follows the Japanese sequence of striking two series of nine to four alternating one and two strikes at the 'half-hours'. This is a fairly new clock. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. A high quality Japanese stick clock is highly desirable and extremely rare. Once in a while, one may appears in high end auctions, such as Sotheby's or Christie's. (sold over $12,500 before premium) So if you have been looking for a Japanese stick clock, please consider the one we are offering here.
