Longcase clock — Fromanteel, Ahasuerus — ca. 1660

This clock is housed in a long case veneered with ebony on oak. The lift-up hood is glazed on three sides. At the corners it has attached Corinthian columns with gilt-bronze bases and capitals. They support a pediment with a gilt-bronze cartouche and laurel swags. The acorn finials beneath the front columns on the hood suggest that the clock was originally designed to be hung on a wall, but was later adapted as a long-case clock. The present pendulum is only 7 inches long. One key. Two weights: lead with brass case, each marked 5.2kg (diameter: 7cm, height excl. ring: 13.5cm) Condition: the cartouche described as a modern replica on file note.
