Frisian tail clock, Mayor's clock - Wood - 1860-1880
The clock was bought by my great grandmother when she got married in 1932. It was estimated to have been made in 1860. The dial shows a depiction of two moons rotating, it also shows the date.
There are many illustrations done in paint depicting Dutch landscapes and people. One of the angels is missing it's instrument, and one of it's hands has been glued in the past. And one of the illustrations has a crack in the glass. The clock has been visibly used.
The clock mechanism still seems to be working but might need some adjustments. The clock still ticks but the bell goes of at irregular times.
