Description
Translation provided by Youdao
Ca. Ø53mm, ca. 43mm high, brass, originally fire-gilded, 3 ball feet, bottom plate and sides florally decorated, dial with representation of a wind rose, 12 touch knobs for night reading, movement completely made of iron, verge escapement, foliot, driven by gut string, iron hand, possibly original key. Even though this clock has certainly been repaired and restored over the centuries, it is in an exceptionally good condition. In addition, it even still starts ticking when you wind it up. This is museum-quality condition for clocks of this period. With a diameter of only 53mm, this is one of the smallest known Renaissance drum clocks. An almost matching example was in the famous Sandberg collection and was auctioned in Geneva in 2001 (source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/aNo). The clock is accompanied by 2 expert opinions, which confirm the initial micro-signatures.
