  A Gustave Becker Longcase Clock, c.1900
  H 200 cm
• Notes:
  Gustave Becker was a famous German clockmaker of the second half of the 19th Century who established the 'brand' "Gustave Becker" for the general manufacture of clocks of his design. Born in 1819, Becker trained as a clockmaker in Germany and Austria. In 1850 he opened workshops in Freiburg, Silesia, Germany. He won the "Medaille d’Or" for design at the 1852 Silesia Trade Exposition & incorporated that first medal and his initials, G.B., into his trademark. The Becker workshops at their height produced more than 400 varieties of clocks. The cases of these clocks reflect the furniture trends of the day and range from very simple to elaborately ornate. Immediately after World War II, production was moved from West Germany to Poland, but shortly thereafter it was taken over by Juhnghans.
