Where should I place a heavy marble clock?

Position the piece on a stable, level surface capable of supporting considerable stone and metal weight, such as a sturdy sideboard or mantelpiece. Avoid placing the clock in areas subject to direct sunlight, dampness, or heavy vibrations. Ensure the surface is flat so the pendulum hangs plumb and the clock keeps accurate time.

How do I clean marble and ormolu?

Dust the stone and metal components regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical sprays, or excessive water, which can damage the gilding and discolour the stone. Professional care is recommended for restoring patinated ormolu surfaces or polishing scratched marble.

What is the difference between a timepiece and a mantel clock?

A timepiece simply tells the time without striking on the hour or half-hour. Traditional mantel clocks often include striking trains with bells or gongs. Both types utilise the same fundamental gear trains, but timepieces have simpler internal mechanisms.
