Koperen gewicht horende bij een wandklok c. 1700

This copper weight, dating back to the early 18th century, is a component of a wall clock crafted by D. Engel. It is a fascinating example of the artistry and craftsmanship involved in clockmaking during this period. The weight's design, with its pear-shaped form and intricate details, reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. Clockweights were essential for regulating the movement of the clock, and this example, with its ornate features, showcases both functionality and beauty, adding a decorative touch to the wall clock it belonged to.
