Clock #6

095 Clock 6

 

Clock #6 is the smallest body clock I have ever made, designed after a famous clock I had the pleasure to restore years ago for a famous actress living in Los Angeles.  That clock was from the Wethersfield Collection of English Clocks and was made by Joseph Windmills, in London in 1690.

18 months ago we started to work on a Boulle clock restoration for a gentleman back east.
We received the clock piece by piece, starting with the top to show the process and what we could do to our client.

Boulle Decanter Restoration

IMG 1265

 

There has been a renewed interest in Boulle marquetry Napoleon III furniture in the last years.
Most of the time, unfortunately, the cost of restoration is to high for a lot of customers or even compared to the value of the piece. It is sad as those pieces need to be well maintained.
Here is a little story on restoring a 1860-1880 decanter with almost all the original Baccarat crystals.
It arrived with the usual loose and missing brass, but also it had been meanly sanded, without loosing the engraving though, and sprayed with lacquer.
