Care and Maintenance of Antique Clocks

Antique clocks are precious timepieces everyone can enjoy. Whether the clock is owned by a collector or is a family heirloom, it still has to be properly maintained. You must be able to understand how to care for an antique clock so it can be passed down from generation to generation.

Cleaning and Repair

Removing dust from an antique clock is the only cleaning an owner should do. This can be done with a soft brush. You should allow a professional to inspect and clean your antique clock at least every five years. They can also oil your clock and check for any broken parts that were not visible to you.

The Proper Environment for Your Antique Clock

The environment is an important factor in keeping your antique clock looking and working great for many years. Cold or hot air, moisture, and even small critters can potentially damage a clock.
