"Exceptional 17th Century Table Clock In Gilt Bronze, From (frauenpreiss Johann In Dresden)"

Exceptional 17th century table clock by Frauenpreiss Johann in Dresden, circa 1675.
Champlevé silver dial, with Roman numerals, and one of the first timers located on the interior part of the annular dial. Which explains the minute hand being smaller than the hour hand.
Magnificent movement in gilded brass, with verge escapement, chain, fusee striking hours and half hours as it passes and on demand, thanks to a draw located at 2 o'clock., and, as you can see, the back of the movement is entirely decorated with intertwined foliage
Very beautiful gilded bronze case, with feet and side windows in silvered bronze. Perfect working condition. This clock has not undergone any transformation despite the past centuries. This type of clocks were very expensive at the time and were intended for noble or very wealthy owners. We sometimes see them in the interiors of the nobility on paintings from the 17th century.
