  • Barnard Castle toasts its famous silver swan as museum seeks money for repair

    Barnard Castle toasts its famous silver swan as museum seeks money for repair
    As mechanical bird's 250th anniversary arrives, time and lack of regular use in lockdowns has taken toll.

    When the Bowes Museum has funding, it hopes the public will be able to see the swan being restored live.

    Understandably, because it is 250 years old, the mechanical silver swan of Barnard Castle is not quite at its best.

    The silver swan is a star of the Bowes Museum, an 18th-century French chateau in Teesdale containing magnificent art, ceramics, furniture and other items collected by John and Joséphine Bowes.

    The swan was created by the silversmith James Cox and its fans would say it is one of the most fabulous examples of automata anywhere in the world, on a par with Cox's peacock clock in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.

    Before the pandemic the swan would be wound up to spring to life at 2pm every day. It brought crowds and gasps. But age and the lack of regular use during lockdowns means the swan is today more a sculpture than an automaton and needs restoration.

    The silver swan is a star of the Bowes Museum, an 18th-century French chateau in Teesdale containing magnificent art, ceramics, furniture and other items collected by John and Joséphine Bowes.

    The swan was created by the silversmith James Cox and its fans would say it is one of the most fabulous examples of automata anywhere in the world, on a par with Cox's peacock clock in the Hermitage, St Petersburg.

    Before the pandemic the swan would be wound up to spring to life at 2pm every day. It brought crowds and gasps. But age and the lack of regular use during lockdowns means the swan is today more a sculpture than an automaton and needs restoration.

    Barnard Castle toasts its famous silver swan as museum seeks money for repair
    As mechanical bird's 250th anniversary arrives, time and lack of regular use in lockdowns has taken toll.

    When the Bowes Museum has funding, it hopes the public will be able to see the swan being restored live.

    Understandably, because it is 250 years old, the mechanical silver swan of Barnard Castle is not quite at its best.
