The Pitfalls of Collecting Willard’s Patent Timepiece

or “Banjo Clock”An illustrated lecture by Robert C. Cheney, Director of Clocks, Watches & Scientific Instruments

Friday, May 2, 2014

Wine Reception 5-6:30PM; Lecture to follow

274 Cedar Hill Street, Marlborough, MA

Simon Willard was granted a patent for his timepiece in 1802. Commonly called a “banjo” clock, it is today perhaps the most difficult American

clock to find in original condition. Correctly evaluating a patent timepiece requires a working knowledge in many aspects of the decorative arts:

furniture, painting on iron or the reverse of a glass, carving, gilding, brass hardware, and the mechanical elements. This lecture will open the

faker’s handbook and pass on a few secrets to fully understand the form.

Robert C. Cheney is a third generation clock maker who cleaned his first Willard timepiece under his father’s watchful eye at age seven.

Drawing on over one hundred years of Cheney timepiece experience, he has written and lectured on this subject for over thirty-five years.

events will be held in conjunction with the June 15th auction of the Andrews Shaker Collection. Please join us!

About The Andrews Shaker Collection

In 1923, Edward and Faith Andrews stopped at a Shaker community to buy a loaf of bread, a simple encounter which led to a lifelong involvement with the Shakers. On June 15th, Skinner will offer the last portion of the original Andrews Collection not residing in a major institution. The auction will present more than 100 lots including furniture, metalware, boxes, and ephemera—all featuring the Shakers’ characteristically simple, yet ingenious design. The event offers enthusiasts of Shaker the rare opportunity to purchase furniture and objects from this legendary collection.

102 Prospect Hill Road, Harvard, MA 01451978.456.3924www.fruitlands.org
