ISBN 3-87023-091-6

Accompanying volume to the exhibition of the Westphalian Open Air Museum Detmold, produced in co-operation with the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe. The book documents the most extensive collection of North-West German grandfather clocks and includes pieces from 250 years of clockmaking history - from early, richly inlaid magnificent examples to simple everyday pieces of furniture. In addition to the detailed presentation of individual clocks, developments in craftsmanship, movement technology, regional styles and domestic culture are also presented.
with numerous illustrations, precise object descriptions and contributions on cultural-historical classification, this is a key reference work for collectors, restorers, art historians and cultural scientists.
