DLB Antiques Fine Antique Clock Repair Restoration

Clock Repair, Antiques

About us

I am an experienced clock repair facility, here to serve you! I specialize in the repair and restoration of handmade French and English clocks, especially the more complicated movements such as chain driven fusee, multiple chime tube and musical clocks made by J.J. Elliott, W+H, Hershedes, Walter Durfee, Tiffany, Rj Horner, Etc. As for fusee movements.... I have dozens of chains in stock, both reproduction and antique, in lengths to 75 inches. If your clock has problems with the case, either metal or wood, i can make those repairs also. One stop clock shop!!! Yes, we work on black forest and cuckoo's too!! Visit the "previous repairs" page of my website to view slide shows of repairs i have completed, to get an idea of what i can do. As of late i have been receiving requests for the cleaning of brass and gilt bronze items. Through much trial and error over the years, i have developed a system of cleaning gold gilt items with great success. Cleaning gold gilding is done solely with chemicals, as it cannot be rubbed or buffed, as the gold will disappear quickly with any rubbing. Again, visit the "previous repairs" section of my website to view some items that i have completed recently. I also offer tall case- grandfather clock moving, storing, relocating service. Never, ever, ever trust a furniture moving company to properly handle a tall clock, even if they tell you they can!!!!! I am repeatedly called to pick up the pieces after a moving company has created a disaster, previously claiming to be able to move a tall clock. I can do this typically on a very short term notice. Email me at Clockrestorer1@gmail.com Or feel free to phone me at 919-345-4488, No texts please!!!!!!!!!! I am located in oxford, north carolina, serving the immediate areas of oxford, henderson, raleigh, durham, chapel hill triangle. I am frequently in virginia serving the areas of clarksville, boydnton, richmond, warrenton, falls church, arlington, chantilly, middleburg and the dc. Area, to the south as far as charleston, sc. Also Serving other portions of North Carolina, Call for Details.

After some researching on his part, Dan found and ordered the correct mechanism to replace in the clock. He called several times to update us on the progress. He picked up the housing from us and in a couple days he called to say the part had arrived and advised us when he would be bringing the housing back and replacing the movement mechanism. Dan called that morning to let us know the exact time and arrived promptly. Dan is very professional and explained exactly what he was doing, as well how we could make any slight adjustments to the time in the future, if needed. He also explained exactly how the old movement had worn out. The entire project was done in a very timely manner. We certainly appreciated his efforts, even though our grandfather's clock was a "modern" clock, as he said, from 1974, and he normally works on antiques.
Description of Work: Replaced movement mechanism in grandfather's clock.

Mr Buffinga disassembled the clockworks, repaired the mechanism, polished all parts, and tested the clock for accuracy when the repairs were finished. His time and cost estimates are accurate, fair, and reasonable. This is the fifth time he has repaired clocks for me over the years and I recommend him very highly. I have had dealings with other clock repair services in the area and none of them are nearly as good.
Description of Work: I own several antique French mantel clocks and two tall-case clocks. From time to time they need repairs and DLB Antiques always does a first-class job.
