Sometimes it is more about how a clock looks than if it keeps accurate time! Careful consideration should be given, however, before you restore a clock's cabinet. If the cabinet is very old and unique, restoration may actually decrease the resale value, if it is already in reasonably good shape considering the age or it is a very rare collector piece. There is a balance between restoration and originality. Similar principles apply to antique guns and furniture.
– Stripping off old finishes

– Staining / Painting
