This Dutch staart clock from the 1800 period follows a Dutch Baroque design. Constructed from oak with a dark brown finish, the wall clock displays a glass-fronted arched hood surmounted by three gilt metal figures including an Atlas finial. The brass dial incorporates spandrels and rocking ships, positioned above a long tail case with a brass pendulum cylinder and an aperture featuring decorative metalwork. Brass weights and chains complete the visible mechanical hardware. Measuring 115 cm high, 37 cm wide, and 29 cm deep, the timepiece hangs suitably on a narrow wall space in a hallway, home office, or gentleman's library. The thirty-hour movement requires a vertical mounting surface where the drop weights and pendulum can operate freely without obstruction.

FAQs

A Dutch Staartklok, or tail clock, is a traditional weight-driven pendulum wall clock that originated in the Friesland region of the Netherlands during the eighteenth century.

These clocks are typically constructed using mahogany, oak, or walnut wood casings, paired with brass dial plates, painted iron arches, and cast gilt or lead figurative finials.

Authentic examples feature a long vertical tail casing with a glazed aperture displaying the pendulum bob, weight-driven mechanical movements, and traditional hood figures such as Atlas and trumpeting angels.

Mount the clock vertically on a neutral accent wall, positioning it above a low console table or within a hallway to accentuate its vertical proportions.

Ensure the casing is secured perfectly level on the wall, keep internal mechanisms lubricated with specialised clock oil, and clean the wooden case using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
