This mahogany tall case clock came in for restoration a while back. I would guess it dates from the late 1700's-early 1800's. It's not the best made piece of it's type, probably a bargain basement clock for it's time, but it was fun to work on. Fixing the hood was the first phase, and it was in rough shape.

The curves of the (broken)broken-pediment are very graceful in this old clock. What about the turned finial? Without it the hood is incomplete.

The finials were brass and will be replaced by the owner.

Very nice work. As good as new... maybe better.I've been told that restoration work to antiques can sometimes detract from there value. Wondering what your thoughts were on the subject.
