This Austrian bracket clock was made by the master clockmaker Josef Ignatz Heinrich in Innsbruck/Tyrol during the middle of the 18th century. The case out of black stained fruit wood is mounted on four flat bun feet and has an eagle finial. The brass dial is completely covered in silvered mounts in the shape of baroque trellis ornaments with acanthus, floral elements and a mask. The dial ring and the subsidiary dials for turn-off for strike and repeater are silvered. Above the dial ring is a small window for the indication of date. The movement with anchor escapement is equipped with a petite sonnerie which chimes the quarter strike by a carillon with 9 bells.
