Case:
The British style clock asked us to use reddish maple venners inside and outside the clock. Burls are fully joined before to attach so no disconnection visible. The rest of the case has been made of solid American Toulipier wood coming from Virginia and North Carolina. Side glassess and the 5mm thick door glasses are finely bevelled all around by hand by Mr. Giovanni Casella so that the inside is very luminous as per the original “Sandglass” clock. The safe environament half shiny acrilic finish armonizes the walnut color over the veneers and the black details to the genuined gold leaf very nice taste applied by artist Lara Finotti and to the solid brass bronces gold plated hand chiseled by Mr. Giovanni Prada, specially for the 2 finals one inside and one over the top of the clock case. So that's a quite unique grandfather clock that starting from British taste and by adding our own craftmanship can be matching many home worldwide and being a luxory piece ever valuable. Door lock included.
