S J Bean Dial Restoration

Welcome to the Longcase Dial Restoration page. All the Restorations are done using ONLY PAINT, not ink as many so called dial restorers use and claim to be correct. Old Dial painters used PAINT, we do too!!!!! So no varnishing and more importantly, NO SMUDGING!!!!!!!

Here are the "before" and "after" photos of some previously restored dials

Every dial is different so pricing generally is quite difficult. However with a picture and brief description of condition of original paint, I should be able to give a rough estimate without actually seeing the dial "in the flesh". Please email me by clicking on the link below.
