I has a new toy!!

Posted by Poppa in Antiques, tags:

Last Friday, Kelly and I found an excellent antique warehouse over in Belgium that had a lot of really neat stuff.

Like this table.

Now THAT is a dining table!!

And then I found this beautiful form of carriage clock.

As this clock has the three holes for the winding key, it’ll play the Westminster Chimes at the quarter, half, three-quarter and then the hour, which sounds sorta like this.  To help give an idea of it’s size, it is 12 inches tall, 9 inches wide and 7 inches deep.  In the interest of decency, the horology porn has been moved to the Gallery for the pervs like me who are interested.

Cheers!!
