Lot 126: Dutch Zaanse Style Weight Driven Wall Clock Attributed to Warmink
This Dutch Zaanse style wall clock is a mid-20th-century reproduction of the traditional 17th-century Zaandam design, commonly attributed to makers such as Warmink or Wuba. The clock features a stained wooden case with a shaped backplate and an arched hood. Decorative brass-tone barley-twist pillars flank the dial assembly. The circular white chapter ring is detailed with black Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals at five-minute intervals for the minutes. It is fitted with ornate, pierced brass-tone hands set against a textured centre. The dial is framed by a decorative brass plate featuring scrollwork and winged cherub motifs. The clock is powered by a mechanical movement and is accompanied by two pear-shaped brass-cased weights and a brass chain. An orange adhesive sticker with the handwritten number 126 is present on the side of the wooden case, and a small white sticker with the number 55 is located on the backplate.
Condition report:
The clock is offered in an untested state. The weights and chains are currently detached from the movement. The wooden case and metal components show signs of surface dust and minor wear consistent with age and previous use.
