Notes:Vendors description was: The so-called Fat Head is one of the rarest of the fabulous Dutch clocks. The name derives from the larger sized bonnet or hood compared to its shorter bottom length. The finials on this rare clock are of the crown style and a collector's prize in their own right. The colorful dial with gold leaf highlighting and Dutch country scenes makes this a clock that most collectors will never again find.
