Friese (Frisian) refers to the province of Friesland in the north of the Netherlands, &#039;stoeltje&#039; is little chair, &#039;klok&#039; is clock. The chair is the part on the wall, the clock &#039;sits&#039; in it on those four feet.</p><p>Stoeltjesklokken were made in different parts of The Netherlands, the mermaids are a feature of Friese stoeltjesklokken. </p><p>That mermaid carving is not the best, but I&#039;ve seen it before on genuine stoeltjesklokken. The chair, or maybe just the mermaids, could be a replacement.</p><p>Most Friese stoeltjesklokken were made in the 18th century, but occasionally a Frisian clockmaker will still make them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
