Maintaining Longcase Clocks
An Owner's Guide to Maintenance, Restoration and Conservation
Par Nigel Barnes et Austin Jordan
Livre en anglais
Longcase clocks were invidually hand-made during the golden age of change that took place between the late seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Longcase clocks with their seventeenth century clock-making technology were innovative and incorporated an accurate pendulum clock within an attractive piece of domestic furnishing.
