Where should I place a heavy slate clock?

Select a sturdy mantelpiece, shelf or heavy wall bracket capable of supporting considerable weight. Marble and slate clocks are remarkably dense and require a stable, level surface. Keep the clock away from direct sunlight, damp walls and excessive heat sources such as radiators. A stable environment protects both the stone case and the delicate steel internal pivots.

How do I date a Victorian marble clock?

Examine the style of the numerals on the enamel dial, the shape of the brass hands and the presence of architectural motifs. Classical Revival and Egyptian Revival influences often point towards the middle and later decades of the nineteenth century. Signatures etched onto the movement backplate or painted on the dial offer further clues. Makers frequently stamped movement serial numbers and exhibition medals that help narrow down the decade of production.

Why does my clock gain or lose time?

Mechanical clocks adjust via a pendulum regulation nut located behind the dial glass. Turning this nut raises or lowers the pendulum bob to speed up or slow down the beat. Temperature changes, dust in the gear train and old oil can also affect timekeeping. Regular professional servicing keeps the metal components moving accurately without excessive wear.
