Since their introduction around 1780, Vienna Regulator clocks became a familiar style in homes and public spaces around Europe and the world. Produced in Vienna, Austria, the forms have moved from their early and transitional designs to serpentine, altdeutsch, Baroque, and factory-made types with one-, two-, and three-weight movements. In continuous production until the 1930s, they continue to be popular with collectors and decorators today. A value guide is included.
From the team that created the increasingly popular annual Miller's International Antiques Price Guide comes the most comprehensive reference ever published in the world of antiques. 750 full-color photographs and 350 black-and-white photographs and drawings.
Contains diagrams of the various types of mechanical movements used over the centuries, indices of manufacturers, box styles, and tune sheets, complete American and British patent lists, and tips on maintaining, repairing, and purchasing boxes. Many of the loveliest musical boxes ever crafted are illustrated in color, with hundreds more b/w photos showing their mechanical workings. 80 diagrams explaining their functions help collectors use, maintain and repair boxes in their collections.
Vols. for 1871-76, 1913-14 include an extra number, The Christmas bookseller, separately paged and not included in the consecutive numbering of the regular series.
