Freeswinger Junghans Wall Clocks
Global Antiques Holland has a freeswinger Junghans wall clock in a case made of burr walnut which is adorned with bronze angel and lion heads and is dated circa 1890. Some of the features of the clock are an eight day movement, that is still completely functional, a porcelain dial, steel hands, a swan motif carved pendulum, and a spring gong style chime that strikes on the hour and the half hour. On the bronze movement piece there is a stamped Junghans logo and a number from the series A52 which is how it can be dated and authenticated. As other Junghans wall clocks, it is large but is hung on the wall, not a freestanding floor model. It’s almost 40 inches high, 15.5 inches wide and just over 6 inches deep. This piece apparently sold for $3,450. Remember it was in perfect working order and the case was in mint condition, so not all clocks Junghans wall clocks will fetch that price, but in general you can get an idea of the value of these pieces.
