{Our Dutch Table Clock}

In my previous posts (links you find below) I have shown our Living Room where this Dutch Table Clock resides on the mantle. It is made out of oak and shows a lot of intricate art work. Let's have a look at it up close... It also has a very nice chime!
Our clock sits on a piece of plexiglass as not to scratch the painted mantle shelf.
Admitting that it is very hard to make photos of this clock, as the glass glares and so does all the brass.
Look at all the intricate details on this clock!
The dial and even the stand of the moon is being shown...
You actually open up the glass door and with the key that is underneath the clock you have to rewind it. 
This is an 8-days movement.
What a fine craftmanship!
All the engraving...
Warmink is the brand name.
With the door open I could use the flash.
Below you see a table clock that is over 250 years older than ours. This one got auctioned off at Christie's for a nice sum of $ 32,807.00. Well, it is taller than ours too. But our heirs might get this in time...

  4. Liebe Mariette, das ist ja wirklich ein Prachtstück mit vielen wunderschönen und liebevollen Details. Eure Erben werden sich sicherlich eines Tages darüber freuen ;o) - entweder, über dieses schöne Erbstück oder über den Preis, den die Uhr bei einer Versteigerung erzielt. (Wenn ich die Erbin wäre, würde ich mir die Uhr behalten :o))
    Ich schicke dir herzliche Rostrosengrüße! Alles Liebe und ein schönes Wochenende, Traude

  9. From your previous posts, it looks like you are having beautiful weather in Georgia. I also read your comment on Shane's blog where your brother is being transported home so that is good news. I hope he will have a full recovery. I knew that Google Friends would not go kaput. Some folks just get part of the story and run with it rather than checking for details and facts. Have a wonderful weekend, Mariette. Best wishes, Tammy

  11. Dear Mariette,

    Your clock is so beautiful and I love the fine detail and craftmanship. The face of the moon and stars is always lovely to see on a clock.
    We enjoy watching Antiques Roadshow and they often have gorgeous clocks to show.

    Hugs
    Carolyn
