Wall clock is held by Nicolae Simache Clock Museum. Museum description: Carved wooden case, with mythological motif on the pediment (the god Bacchus); along the borders, fruits and grape clusters; gilded bronze dial, with Roman numerals in enameled cartouches; movement with anchor escapement; chiming system for half-hours and full hours; observations: The piece is in good condition, retaining all original components of the case and movement. It was made in an anonymous workshop in Germany. The piece is notable for the originality of its decoration, which is of great plastic expressiveness. The museum record gives measurements H = 78 cm; W = 50 cm; D = 15 cm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
