Restoration help!
Hi,
I have an antique Black Forest cuckoo-and-quail wall clock that appears to date to approximately circa 1880. I have located photographs of a nearly identical surviving example that still has its original decorative components, and I am looking for someone to help restore it to its natural beauty.
I am looking for carved bone clock hands, the missing Roman numeral IX, a new pendulum, and the missing/broken wood carvings. If anyone know of someone to contact I would love a recommendation! Below is a picture of mine vs what I believe is the identical example with all the original pieces.
I did just pay to have the internal components cleaned and replaced, it works perfect, but I would love to fix the pieces that have been replaced and broken over the years.
Thank you
Melissa
IContact Ray Bybee for the bone hands and numerals. He does carvings as well, but I don’t believe he stains them, or does installation anymore. Rbybee11@yahoo.com. If you want to send the case to someone, and not do any of the staining work yourself send it to Michael Schad, Msclock@sprynet.com. Michael Schad does wood carvings and case work. He will install, and color match the new pieces he carves. Depends on the route you want to go basically.
