Expert Furniture Repair & Restoration in Ipswich

In the photographs you can see a birdcage movement after restoration. These movements come in to the workshop after not being looked at sometimes for a hundred years. These clocks very often in the very first place were not in a case but on a plinth on the wall and were often called wag on the wall clocks. In the first photograph you can see the rear section showing the count wheel and pendulum. This count wheel was used on clocks before the rack strike was invented. In the other photographs you can see the movement from the other sides and in the final photograph the dial of the clock. These clocks were often rope driven or if the person had enough money chain driven these were slightly more expensive at the time. These ropes or chains would drive the clock on the gravity process via the weight. We specialise in the restoration of particularly fine antique long case clocks. We undertake dial movement and case restoration in our workshop everything is done in-house and we put nothing out.
