GUSTAV BECKER Shrine Clock
Wood (walnut), brass, glass: 36.5 x 18 x 65 cm
A stylish shrine clock from the renowned Gustav Becker brand, crafted from walnut wood.

The case, with its elegant shrine-like form, decorative columns, and carved details, creates a striking, stately appearance. The design is complemented by gold-plated brass fittings that contrast beautifully with the dark wood. The clock is in working order, equipped with a complete movement and pendulum—ready for use and display. An attractive collector’s piece, ideal for lovers of antiques, Art Nouveau, and classic German clockmaking. The manufacturer’s markings are preserved.
