Installation of Clocks

During the installation of PMA's Early American Art galleries, I assisted in moving and installing six tall case clocks, which involved:

  • Removing finials and bonnets

  • Removing weights and pendulum

  • Winding weight strings

  • Removing works and placing them on custom-made cradles

  • Vacuuming case, bonnet, and works

  • Reinstalling all elements in new location

  • Attaching clock case to plywood gallery wall substrate using wood screws with leather washers through existing holes in the case

  • Fabricating custom mounts from plywood to secure tall case clocks to gallery walls in corner installations
