Before restoration
The 24 hour dial, now professionally restored, is a wonderful example of Farcot design, with daylight on the top half and night on the bottom.
Gentle, non-ammoniated cleaning techniques were used, respecting the age of the brass.
The pendulum and hour hand fit Farcot's flair for incorporating vintage styles.
This beautiful restoration was supported by professional reverse painting dial-artist Lee Davis of York, PA.
