Bonhams will be holding two fine sales of clocks and barometers in June
and December at the New Bond Street location and four general sales of clocks,
watches and barometers in March, May, September and November at the Knightsbridge
location in 2010.
The department will be looking for good examples of longcase,
bracket, mantel, novelty and carriage clocks for these auctions.
London clocks made prior to 1720 are particularly sought after at the
moment - Bonhams achieved two world record prices in 2007 with clocks
from this sector. Marine chronometers, good novelty clocks and musical
clocks are also performing very well. Clocks are exempt from Capital
Gains Tax at the moment so now may well be the most economically
advantageous time to sell. If you have a fine piece that you are looking
to sell at auction, please do not hesitate to contact the department.
