Bracket Clock c1750

The museum has a fine collection of clocks.

 

This c1750 clock is by Gardelle of Paris and is in the Rococo style. The case is decorated with Vernis Martin in the "Japanning" style.

 

The Bowes Museum is a rather eccentric and quite amazing museum in Barnard Castle in England.

 

The museum is the vision of a pioneering woman, Joséphine Bowes and her husband John.
