Clock

Weight driven clock in case of decoratively cut and painted sheet-iron and copper by Andreas Herzen in 1696, with the centre dial showing St. Peter. The clock, which originally may have hung directly on a bracket with the face hanging down below the shelf in front, is now raised on four legs. The dial plate is in one piece of copper, cut and pierced to follow the outlines of the painted decoration surrounding the dial of acanthus scrolls, swags of laurel, a cherub's head with wings and a cresting of coat of arms surmounted by a crown and with putto supports.
