Book Synopsis A Guide to Dating English Antique Clocks by : Eric Bruton
Download or read book A Guide to Dating English Antique Clocks written by Eric Bruton and published by Robert Hale. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed overview provides a unique visual record, as well as collated information, to help dealers and collectors date English clocks by their case styles. Using examples from the famous Wetherfield collection--the greatest collection of entirely English domestic clocks ever made by a private collector--a beautiful range of accompanying photographs depicts the whole range of designs. The longcase series is very representative, and to fill gaps in the historical record of bracket (table) clocks, a series of style drawings is provided. Additionally, the book specifically deals with dating a clock by its movement, dial, and case, with guidance on "improvements" and "marriages," when a case and a movement do not belong to each other. There are also notes on the makers represented, neatly rounding off this must-have for all antique clock aficionados or those considering bringing their clock onto Antiques Roadshow.

Download or read book Brass Dial Clocks written by Brian Loomes and published by ACC Distribution. This book was released on 1998 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new title discusses the origins, style and development of domestic brass dial clocks made between the early seventeenth and the end of the eighteenth centuries. The book provides a detailed examination of eight day and thirty-hour clocks with hundreds of illustrated examples of longcase, bracket, lantern derivatives, hook-and-spike and hooded clocks. It examines the development and distribution of each, with a complete re-examination of prototype thirty-hour clockwork and the work of clocksmiths, with a detailed discussion on the recognition of styles of the various regions/countries. Some of these aspects are discussed here for the first time. This new title will have a wide appeal as the author assumes no prior knowledge of the subject from his reader and concerns himself exclusively with a discussion of accessible clocks, not the rare museum pieces so often featured in other horological publications. He concentrates mainly on regional types, but also includes a very small number of London clocks in order that comparisons may be made, and uses examples from all over Britain, including Scotland and Ireland, and many from America.
