Description
Heavy brass tail plate or lenticle for a large Dutch friesian tail clock. The lenticle is representing: Father time. At his feet there is an owl, and an hour glass next to him. Father time is pointing his finger as a warning to humanity that time is going on in a fast pace. The owl represents wisdom and the hourglass represents time marching on. The rooster is lifting the curtain of time representing the transitoriness of time. Behind the ornament the pendulum can be seen swinging. Approx 7 5/8” or 19,5 cm tall and 5” or 12,6 cm wide. Used item, signs of use and age.
We sell used parts, taken from used clocks. New parts and new old stock parts. They are bound to have signs of use, may be in need of cleaning. They might look slightly different then pictured due to production process differences. The colours could be slightly different. Collaborating pictures are shown for reference and are never, unless clearly specified, part of the sale.
