Tips on identifying and Appraising Clocks

Tips on identifying and Appraising Clocks by Martha Tips

This beautiful hard cover book illuminates the field of horology with competently researched, concisely written and profusely illustrated information about clocks that personal property appraisers, antique dealers, and interested individuals all want to know. After identifying the most commonly encountered clock movements and escapements, the author treats English clocks with particular emphasis on timepieces that early 21st century buyers and sellers are likely to meet. Few affordable English texts address French clocks, but this book brings popular styles, case materials, and unusual timekeepers such as swinging arm, mystery, carriage wheel and conicals to vibrant understanding. Comparables and other appraisal considerations are discussed in an easy-to-understand format. An excellent index makes this a book you will always want to keep handy.
