Watch case restoration

Boxes come in all shapes and sizes and we have recently restored two small cases. The first was a case for a small clock, the silk on the underneath of the top and coverings over the hinges were damaged. The bottom of the inside was also very dirty and this was also replaced with silk velvet (as per the original). In order to carry out the repairs we had to remove all the inner lining in order to get to the sections that were damaged. The result was a neat tidy repair with the original Harrods logo on the back kept intact. See below -

The second was a case for a pocket watch where the back of the case had been damaged. We re-secured the hinge and patched a replacement piece of leather to cover it. See below -
