Bairnsdale Clocks restores Howard Miller® Kipling Tobacco Grandfather Clock
We have a rare Howard Miller® Kipling Tobacco Grandfather Clock for repair. Inoperable condition. The customer (his site tobacco.im) for his Australian office, asked us to restore the clock as soon as possible. What was done.
Howard Miller 611206 Floor Grandfather Clock, Furniture Trend Design has unique turned carving on his columns and designed with Harvest Brass ornamental pendulum.
This great Howard Miller tobacco clock features a shaped bonnet pediment. The gold dial features a moon phase dial at the top. The top slide glass is removable to allow easy access to the movement. An electric light is at the top of the clock for illumination with a roller light switch on the cord. This clock does chime on the hour and half hour.
Tobacco finish on select hardwoods and veneers is heavily distressed with deep dents, gouges, and chisel markings for an aged appearance.
A high-precision, German-made, Kieninger® cable-driven, Westminster chime movement plays 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 chimes accordingly with full chime and strike on the hour. Grid pendulum with complementing center casting and wood insert finished in Tobacco. Pendulum and weight shells are finished in Harvest brass. The locking door features graceful arched top and bottom rails with beveled glass. Removable, beveled topside glass panels offer easy access to the time mechanism. Illuminated dial.
Howard Miller is the oldest watch corporation in the United States. Its history began in 1926, where Howard S. Miller set up a watchmaking business. Since the creation of the first watches, Howard S. Miller was very picky about the quality. The fundamental principles of the company laid down by him in those years: quality, craftsmanship and constant search for new things led Howard Miller Corporation to the world leadership.
Howard Miller is known not only as a manufacturer of furnishings, but also as a producer of premium humidors for tobacco. All products of the company are notable for their solidity, classic design and high quality workmanship. Cases are usually finished with precious woods and multi-layered glossy lacquer.
From the 1960s the company focused its attention on the production of floor clocks, and in a fairly short time became the largest manufacturer of floor clocks in the world. That title is still held by the company today.
