Engine turning
Engraving produced by a machine. Beautiful decorative engraving in many designs can be done with the work in a specialised lathe or rose engine, in which the eccentric movement of the work, or cutting tool, or both, results in a repetitive pattern or moulding on the surface of the work. Such engraving is used to decorate clock dial centres and clock cases.
