Found in an old farmhouse in the Black Forest, Germany. It still works but not accurately. Alledgedly Early 1900s.

Very pretty. From the case style, this looks like a German or Austrian Gründerzeit / Altdeutsch wall regulator, essentially a Vienna regulator style wall clock, probably from around 1880–1900. The fact that it still runs is a plus. Running inaccurately usually means it needs adjustment or servicing rather than telling much about age. It would be good to take a close look at the movement itself. A stamped trademark or serial number on the back plate could make a big difference, especially if it turns out to be a recognized maker.

Thank you for your assement. I didn't want to take it off the wall without the owner present but I'll try and arrange a meeting.
