Country Cottage Longcase Clock
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.Antique clock conservation
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
