The second volume of this comprehensive standard work on the subject of antique longcase clocks deals in detail with the stylistic development of English brass and enamelled dials (painted dials), including manufacturing techniques, regional characteristics and maker's markings. In addition, the case types are analysed in detail - from the London longcase clock to regional variants in England, Ireland and North America. A separate chapter is devoted to special types of clocks, including wooden movement clocks and custom-made clocks. The volume is richly illustrated (over 2,500 illustrations in two volumes) and offers numerous tables, diagrams and identification aids - a standard work for clockmakers, collectors and restorers.
