Ale House Antiques

Description

A rare to find in the UK Freisland chair clock a real piece of folk art. Quite obviously of a good age but not that easy to age accurately as they were never signed by the maker. 30 hour birdcage movement made of brass with verge escapement. A nice Dutch scene painted on the face, decorative work mounted on the hood and around the face made from cast lead and then hand painted. Hand painted all over the case with 2 mermaids molded into the back plate. Very large and very stunning but a bit of a marmite you either love them or hate them. This is quite a large version measuring
Height 700mm
Width 290mm
Depth 260mm
