Here's how it works
First you enlarge the hole in the wooden plate with a drill until the big golden nut of the movement fits through. Then prime the wooden plate white.
Roughly tear out the rose motif from Straw silk paper and glue it in the middle of the clock with Napkin varnish . The background color merges optically with the white background. After drying, stamp the numbers and various curlicues. Tip: Press the stamp with the squiggles first on a sheet of paper Paper , so you get delicate stamp impressions on the clock.
Now apply Gold leaf priming milk with a brush on different areas of the roses and the curls and let it dry for about 30 minutes. Afterwards you put on the Leaf metal with a Bristle brushes and rub with this strongly over it. This way you remove excess material, which you can put on again. The transitions will not remain visible. Next, give the clock an antique touch by wiping some stamping ink over it with a paper towel. Stick the tip around the clock and wipe some stamping ink over it.
Now you have to mount the clockwork on only : Remove the big gold nut and put the movement through the plate from behind. Tighten the nut from the front and adjust the distance with the rubber washers if necessary. The movement must be absolutely tight. Now unscrew the small golden nut, put on the hands and fix it again with the nut. Finally the second hand is put on.
