I recently acquired a very old grandfather clock (I'm told it was brought out to Australia by great great grandparents) some 200+ years ago. It was me take it, or they were just going to part with it for the best offer. A dealer saw it and said it was extremely valuable, so here is my question.
The clock itself looks in a somewhat sorry state, and my husband is very good with woodwork so we'd like to restore it. We also don't know how to put it together as the ?pendulums are extremely heavy lead and packed separately. I'm told it still works though they've had it disabled for some time.
We also would like to see a similar item photo so that we can try and identify it, and if necessary insure it. This also will enable us to ensure we restore it to its original glory.
It's truly beautiful, stands around 6'6". On the face, at the top, there is an insignia of gold wheat bound together, circled by a ? wreath? of gold leaves. I have included an image, and the following post has an image of the face
