Collection Nathan Ruben Fränkel (1848-1909), Frankfurt a. Main. Private Collection, Milwaukee, ca. 1975. Acquired by Arthur Gilbert from S.J. Phillips Ltd, London, 1987.\r\n\r\nNathan Ruben Fränkel was a successful Jewish clockmaker from Frankfurt. Alongside his business, he built up an encyclopaedic collection of timepieces. We do not know what happened to this clock after his death and in the years before it resurfaced in 1975. This uncertainty is alarming because of the extent of persecution experienced by his family. Friedrich and Klara Fränkel, who ran a thriving watch business in Frankfurt, were forced into bankruptcy by the Nazis. In 1938, they fled to France where they narrowly escaped deportation and survived the war in hiding.\r\n\r\nThis object formed part of the V&A's special provenance display 'Concealed Histories: Uncovering the Story of Nazi Looting' (December 2019 - June 2021)","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Table clock, assembled from 17th-century shrine and clock, in its current configuration probably Berlin, 1880-1900","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Schroder, Timothy.
