Descrizione
The great clock - Morbier Grandfather Clock in the 19th century, by A. Caudine, Ed. de l'Amateur, 10 inches x 12 inches ( 25 cm x 31 cm ), hardcover book with 272 full color pages
This hardcover book with 272 full color pages recounts the history of the French morbier comtoise grandfather clocks from the beginning to the 19th century, mainly produced in Morbier and Morez.
It symbolizes life so much that in the past, when a death occurred in the house, it was customary to silence his ticking by stopping the pendulum if, however, it did not stop by itself...
After developing the historical aspect, the author reviews all the stages in the production of the comtoises and the elements constituting his decor, then becomes interested in restoration techniques, which he has applied with an expert hand for many years.
This book, which ends with valuable advice on maintenance and use, includes more than 700 illustrations, most of them unpublished.
