A fine and rare late 17th century silver-mounted ebony 30-hour Dutch-striking Haagse clock with alarm

M. Van Leeuwaerden, Haerlem
The front door hinged at the left hand side and topped by a broken arched pediment supported on half-round columns raised on pedestals to a moulded base and turned ball feet, each side set with a moulded glazed panel, and set to the rear top with twin suspension eyes.
The 8 inch rectangular velvet covered dial hinged to the left and set to the top corners with a pair of silver spandrels of cherubs in flight representing day and night, the lower corners set with figures, one with an owl and crescent, the other with a lamp flanking a silver cartouche nameplate (hinged so as to offer access to impulse the pendulum), the silver Roman chapter ring with every minute engraved around the outer edge with fine pierced hand and alarm setting disc.
The movement united by four turned pillars, the single spring barrel with tandem winding to power both going- and striking-trains; the former with silk suspension set between cycloidal cheeks with light pendulum and turned bob, the latter with elaborately pierced and engraved countwheel numbered 1-12 sounding a single blow at quarter-past, the full hour at the half-past on a deep bell mounted below the movement, a single blow at quarter-to the hour, and the full hour on the hour on the bell mounted on top of the case behind the pediment. The alarm train set inside the top right hand corner of the case and wound through the side. Ticking and striking. Together with a large key.
37cm high x 21cm wide (10.5in high x 8in wide)
