荷蘭民族特色掛牆鐘 Fantastic Collection of Dutch Wall Clock

購自荷蘭收藏家,五六十年代產品,保証你未見過咁靚座鐘 。
今次這一個 Size最細的,長22吋,闊8吋。有興趣者請認住附圖,吾會混淆其他鐘!不過我相信香港吾會有幾人有這種鐘!
我收藏的 Zaanlander Clock 個個看似一樣!其實個個都不同!包括形狀大小、木材料、機芯設計、重鉛垂、擺陀...等,細心觀察便見到!
Zaanlander Clock 的特色係外型古典,多採用金屬裝飾,動力行重垂 Weight driven,8日動力(看重垂的高低便知動力剩餘幾多),報時鈴聲清脆!調校容易!外框兩旁有玻璃可直接見到機芯運行,保養容易!


Fantastic Collection of
Dutch Wall Clocks !!
I am very proud to offer you this marvellous Dutch wall clock which dated about 1950-60. I bought this collection from a Dutch clock collector.
The collection comprises Old Dutch Zaandam Figural Wall Clocks. With two bronze weights and a bronze pendulum.The clock cases are made of oak and walnut.
On the top of the clock is a mark which says "Nu elck syn sin" which is Old Dutch, and means : "Now everybody gets what he wants". On the top of the chimebells stands a brass Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders.
This is a very nice collection of wall clocks for the collector or someone wanting an unusual clock collection that no one else has. Thank you for looking this fantastic collection of clocks. Height 22 ans. Wide 8 Inches !!

座鐘原來的闡述 個賣家包得好實,但卻被郵遞整爛卻借口多多!而家真係好似去希臘觀光一樣!
Wow! Very Elegant!
French or Italian three piece marble clock set.
Greek Revival style.
Burgundy/ brown and grey white veiny marble is awesome.
Columns look to be polished plated brass.
The capitols are awesome with relief molded mythical scenes.
Clock is the centerpiece with two matching temples with cast metal Greek figures.
Clock mechanism looks to be in working order, though no key. Has "MR" with a swallow mark on back.
Clock front has original glass. Crackling on face, but no paint loss.
All three pieces look to have been reinforced from the inside somewhere along the way.
All three pieces are in VERY good condition with no cracking, chips or major dings in the marble. They are 100+ years old, so there is some wear but VERY little.
One of the columns has a small crack in the reverse (please see the picks)
Very sturdy and very heavy; three pieces together weigh 42 lbs unpacked.
The clock measures 16 1/2" long x 12 3/8" tall x 5 1/8" deep.
The side temples measure 5 5/8" wide x 10 7/8" tall x 4 3/16" deep.




評估今次的難度,兩個Side piece完整,主座鐘個金頂完整,羅馬柱腳爆裂,神廟牆壁完整!最后整個底座大理石全部碎裂!個機芯行 Balance Wheel 但係很舊!人地都話唔寄咁遠,冇法啦!


鳳凰重生!花了不少工夫!還有些少工聚,機芯又要攪攪,相信很快完成!


雲石齊口斷裂的地方,主要用強力快干膠水,原因係膠水薄,可盡量保持基座原貌!石膏底座斷裂位置及所有內部接合位置,用熱溶膠加固!因為以前砌puzzle砌得多,難度不算大!只係側面一塊雲石角位粉碎了一大片,重想緊點修補!


主座鐘的神廟復修,初步成形!17吋的闊度,13吋的高度,做成宏偉的效果!金光閃爍的羅馬柱和金頂浮雕,又給人一種莊嚴的感覺!


兩個 side piece 的雕像由金屬鑄造,一文一武,就好像我們中國傳統貼門神的佈置!


文雕像面容英俊,頭戴桂冠,肩膀披著長袍,手拿著卷袖軸!


武士雕像面上留鬍鬚,背著盾牌,左腰佩劍,右手執著巨斧!
