These types of clock are my personal favourite. Especially when they've one hand like this example by William Burton of Kendal many are now over 300 years old. In Cumbria we are lucky enough to have some fine examples of these clocks. If cared for they will outlast you and the person you bequeath the clock to. Most are quite rightly treated as members of the family.
Probably more than anything else you own your Antique Clock is a story book from the past. Signatures and dates are often found and always documented. Pictured here is an inscription showing the clock number and the year it was made, The 'H P' denotes Henry Philipson of Ulverston. The Philipson's were trained by Jonas Barber of Winster and carried on numbering clocks in the same way the Barber dynasty had done. Careful cleaning is essential if this beautiful inscription is to remain intact
Skeleton Clocks have many forms, most are timepieces often having a 'passing strike', This example has quarter striking.
These clocks are the very best of English Clock Work. They were popular with the 'well to do' in the Georgian & Victorian era.
Many of these clocks still survive today. These often have the title 'School or Railway' clocks. They could often be found at railway stations or in the old schools both long since vanished. These clocks require the fusee tension setting up properly if they are to be good timekeepers.
In Cumbria {formerly Westmorland & Cumberland} there are surviving examples of these clocks from the 18th & 19th century. If you are lucky enough to own one of these lovely clocks look no further than Cumbria Clocks for their care and conservation.
