Gold boxes & watch cases
Restoration & ConservationWe restore gold boxes dating from the 18th Century and later.
We have experience in boxes with:
- enamelled and ivory miniatures
- hard stones and gems
- cameos and mother of pearl
- engravings
- three colours of gold
- enamel over engravings and engine tuned patterns
We also restore wax cases, watch cases and other formpieces.
Some examples of gold boxes and watchcases we restored:
Below are two pictures of a watch by Jaquet Droz.
The left picture shows the watch in the state that it was brought in. The case showed several cracks and chips and a few pieces were missing.
The right picture shows the watch case after we had restored it. We carefully glued the original parts back and filled in the gaps.
