Period
1920-1930
This wooden wall regulator clock is reported by the source to originate from Germany and date to the 1920–1930 period. The oak-finished case measures 80 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 14 cm deep, weighing 6.6 kg.
It features an upper dial with Arabic numerals and fluted side pilasters, positioned over a lower door fitted with beveled glass panes that reveal a brass pendulum bob. The source reports the clock is marked 'Wuba' despite the auction title naming Dufa, though a key stamped 'DUFA' is visible resting on the lower door frame.

The design features a stepped top, beaded moldings, and fluted side pilasters adorned with ionic capitals. A glazed lower door with multi-pane beveled glass provides a view of the circular brass pendulum bob. A small plaque is affixed to the horizontal frame located beneath the glazed door.

- Markings and Attribution
- Attribution for the clock is inconsistent within the provided documentation.
