Biography
|
|
Christian Ernst Kleemeyer, clock maker to the Berlin court, was the son of a master carpenter; he became especially renowned around 1786 for his automatic instruments. His "musical and concert clocks" were either lacquered or painted in goldleaf, with or without sculptured ornaments, depending upon the means of the client. The most expensive models were fitted with "pedestals, and attached with mirrors framed in mahogany and ornamented in goldleaf."
