Case Repairs and Restoration
Example of a Fully Refinished and Restored Ingraham Kitchen Clock
This clock case was completely disassembled. The case parts were stripped to remove the old, darkened crackled finish. The case was then re-glued and refinished. Before refinishing, the secondary wood used for the ornate trim was indistinguishable from the white oak base.
Time & Again is equipped to do most types of cosmetic case repairs. Peeling or missing veneer can be repaired/replaced as well as regluing of failed wood-to-wood joints. Missing parts such as crests, doors, glass and finials can be repaired and/or reproduced. Old finishes can be stripped and refinished or just rejuvenated. The inset numerals of silvered dial clocks can be renewed.
