AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The wood of the clock is in good condition and shows minimal signs of use. On the hood there should be three brass figures, but these are missing. In the sides of the hood there are plastic windows with green fabric behind them. On the inside of the cabinet door there is a sticker from Uurwerkenfabriek Warmink.
The hand-painted dial shows, to the left of the moon phase indicator, a windmill with a house and to its right a church with a house. Below the moon disk there is also a tree and a house painted. In the center there is a canal with houses on the shore depicted.
The movement is by an unknown maker. The only markings are the letters "LP" on the plate. The movement has recently undergone maintenance by a clockmaker. Brass chains hold brass-lacquered weights. The clock functions well and strikes every half hour on a bronze-colored bell.
The sliding plate is not loose. On the plate is a brass ornament with Father Time. Behind this ornament is glass.
The lot can be picked up in Almere. Shipping will be carefully packed and sent by registered mail."
