How do I wind the clock?

Most mechanical movements require a specific double ended winding key inserted into the dial arbors to tension the mainsprings. Care must be taken not to overwind the mechanism. Clockmakers built these eight day movements to run reliably when set on a level surface and adjusted with the pendulum regulation square.

Where should I place a heavy marble clock?

Due to the substantial weight of marble and bronze cases, position the clock on a sturdy fireplace mantel or a heavy sideboard. Ensure the furniture surface is completely level to keep the pendulum swinging evenly. Avoid placing these items in direct sunlight or damp rooms to protect the enamel dials and tortoiseshell marquetry from environmental damage.

How do I identify the period of a clock?

Examine the cast metal style, dial typography, and any signature stamps on the backplate of the movement. Dates often correspond to the active years of Parisian makers or specific nineteenth century revival fashions. Architectural black marble and Egyptian revival motifs typically point to the eighteen sixties and eighteen eighties, whilst Rococo revival styling spans across the entire latter half of the century.

What is a clock garniture set?

A garniture comprises a main mantel clock flanked by a matching pair of decorative side pieces, such as ornamental urns or candelabra. They were manufactured en suite to decorate nineteenth century drawing rooms. Finding a complete matched set increases the architectural and historical significance of the grouping on a display shelf.
