Longcase Clock Restoration |
Restoration can take many forms, quite minor re-securing of small areas of veneer and re-polishing, to major rebuild, where the clock has suffered serious damage or has been stored in an inappropriate environment. |
Example of an early Victorian Swan Neck mahogany clock hood, with missing veneers expertly replaced ready for re-staining and French polishing. |
This is a typical example of a badly damaged clock hood, with most of the mouldings detached from the main cabinet. |
Pieces of broken mouldings, awaiting restoration, all pieces needing to be cleaned and have all old glue removed prior to re assembly. |
|
Finally, the finished clock, restored and back together with its fully restored dial, and repaired and serviced movement, ready to run another hundred years. |
