Finding out about your antique clock
How to spot a marriage
A great many longcase clocks have been re-cased, both anciently and in recent times. A clock in a non-original case is known as a 'marriage' of unrelated parts. All owners or potential owners of a longcase clock will have asked themselves at some time or other if a movement is in the right case - and if they haven't, then they should have, and ideally before buying the clock rather than after. This article, illustrated with clear examples of clock case alterations, will show you where to look for the tell-tale signs of a marriage. First published in Clocks Magazine in March 2016. |
