1992 - Antique Maltese Clocks
In 1992 Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti, held their first exhibition
dedicated to Antique Maltese Clocks, which provided a unique insight
to an indigenous clock-making tradition.
The book takes the format of a catalogue raisonné illustrating and giving
a historical background to the various types of Maltese clocks exhibited.
The clocks vary from the Arlogg tal-Lira, with its unique niche-like case,
decorative motifs and intricate gilding to other well-known immovable
types such as the Turret clocks throughout the Island.
Antique Maltese Clocks is the first in a series of Patrimonju
publications and includes contributions by John Manduca, Giovanni Bonello,
Patrick Formosa, Louis Busuttil, Lorenzo Zahra, Carmel Vassallo, R.H.
de Burgh Wilmot, Frank Ventura.
