John Wren clock. An impressive French mantel clock with large visual escapement and bim-bam strike, adorned with bronze figures, black slate case engraved with a very unusual Australian coat of arms in landscape lower centre, also inlaid with rougue marble. This clock sat on the mantel in the dining room of John Wren's hotel in Collingwood and has often been remembered there by former patrons of the Yarrawonga clock Museum. Weighing a staggering 12 stone in the old measure this is truly a statement piece. 63 cm high, 72 cm wide, 18 cm deep

  • Bronze - An alloy of copper and tin, traditionally in the proportions of about 9 parts of copper to 1 part of tin.

    The discovery of bronze in Western Asia in the 4th century enabled people to create metal objects which were superior to those previoulsy possible because of its strength and hardness, and it has been used throughout the world for weapons, coins, tools, statuary and other decorative items.

    It is very fluid in a molten state, and its hardness, strength when set, and non-corrosive properties makes it most suitable for casting sculpture.
