Located in Rīga, LV
A German Art Nouveau wooden mantel clock by Junghans, made circa 1910. The case has an architectural arched form with decorative wood inlay to the front, rounded bun feet and side sound grilles. The clock features an ornate brass dial plate with engraved floral decoration, a silvered chapter ring with Arabic numerals and two subsidiary dials above. One subsidiary dial is marked Chime / Silent, while the other is for regulation of the movement. The brass movement is stamped with the Junghans eight-point star trademark and marked “B10”. On Junghans movements of this period, this marking is generally understood as a date code: “B” indicating the second half of the year and “10” indicating 1910. Therefore, the movement can be dated to the second half of 1910. The case combines dark polished wood with warm brass details, giving the clock a refined early 20th century Art Nouveau appearance.
