How do I wind an antique clock?

Most mechanical clocks require a key inserted into the dial face to tension the internal springs or lift the driving weights. Care must be taken not to over-wind the mechanism, stopping as soon as resistance is felt.

Where should I place a mantel clock?

Mantel clocks suit stable horizontal surfaces away from direct sunlight and sources of excessive heat. Placing them on a level shelf ensures the pendulum swings evenly for accurate timekeeping.

How do I identify a longcase clock?

Longcase clocks are tall floor-standing timepieces characterised by a trunk that encloses the hanging weights and pendulum. They typically feature a hooded top containing the dial and movement.

What woods were used for inlay?

Cabinetmakers employed contrasting timbers such as boxwood, satinwood, and various fruitwoods to create distinct floral designs against darker carcases. The natural grain and colour variations of the wood provide depth to the marquetry.
