Description
This type of clock has been made in the Friesland area of Holland since the early 18th Century. In the late 1980s a firm tooled up to produce these in some quantity for their home market, using traditional style movements and cases. This particular clock is a time only, although it has an iron bell above the movement for decoration. This is a well made new clock with metal decorations and hand painted dial and mermaids just like the originals. It is in running condition. For comparison, see an older stoelklok in this sale, lot 48. Height of case 24" $400-600
