Further info
The Coupes Model 173P were also sold as a stand-alone item.
And of course, as a "set" with the matching designed clock model 175P
These clocks were extremely expensive and therefore often remained long on the shelf;
This set was purchased in 1907 with a "stock" clock from 1903 and is not a "marriage"
The 8 day clock (8 days for an upwind moment on a fixed day and time)
has been professionally revised for trouble-free operation in the years to come.
A new 24K gold plating is applied to the visible outerside of the timepiece.
Plateel and also eggshell build internal tensions while baking in the oven
Over the years, this may often lead to spontaneous so-called "age cracks".
Also this set had some age cracks which are expertly retouched (no restorations)
Of the roughly 28 museums in the Netherlands with a pottery collection only the
Princessehof te Leeuwarden has a similar set in her possession ... (even the
Gemeentemuseum Den Haag with the world's largest Rozenburg collection has none ! )
In short: This set belongs absolutely to the Rozenburg top pieces !

The nature of the items is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair.
Ask therefore for a condition report which are usually available on request, and will supplement the website descriptions.
