Product Description
Product Description
This book is probably the best single reference on English bracket clocks, between 1714 and 1830. The author introduces his subject with an overview of the craft of clock making as it was practised in the early 1700s. Beginning with early examples from the period, he moves to the zenith in bracket clock design between 1760 and 1800, when constituent elements were perfected and blended into stunning examples of the type. He also discusses movements, lacquer cases, enamel and painted dials, and the export trade. The book concludes with a chapter on the practice and pitfalls of restoration and collecting. Notable bracket clockmakers and their contributions are discussed. The book is aimed at dealers, collectors, librarians and students of horology.

Richard Barder was educated at Marlborough and then at Brussels University. Following a period as an officer in the Royal Signals he joined a family firm in London and during his time developed an interest in clocks. He became a regular contributor to 'Clocks' magazine under the pen name Charles Turner.
