Clock Movement Restoration

An early 19th century wall clock - DENT

This important movement was manufactured by the London firm DENT - most famous for producing the movement for London "Big Ben".

After careful dismantling and cleaning the movement is re-assembled, lubricated and ready to run.

The valuable patination of the old brass is still in tact due to professional and ethical treatment.

A close up of a wheel shows how harmful oxidation deposits are carefully removed and gentle cleaning conserves the fragile but valuable patination of the antique brass beneath.

Clock Dial Restoration

A late 18th century white dial clock dial

This quality longcase clock had been stored innapropriately for many years. A full restoration to the case and movement were necessary to return the clock to working order.

The dial was carefully cleaned and restored by our specialist dial conservator. The final result is extremely impressive, and of course adds a lot to the final value.

Clock Case Restoration

A late 18th century satinwood cased white dial clock

This unusual clock had been stored innapropriately for many years. A full restoration to the case and movement were necessary to return the clock to working order.

The replacement carving was matched with the original, and many missing sections of banding had to be hand cut from the solid.

An early 18th century Boulle marquetry clock and bracket

This Boulle style clock case required extensive restoration. Approximately 25% of the brass and 10% of the turtle-shell was missing. The remaining marquetry needed removing to stabilise the substrate

The ormolu mounts carried a duty stamp for 1740 allowing accurate dating. Working alongside a clock conservator and with specialist restoration to the enamel dial the treatment was a great success
