The Art and Craftsmanship for Making and Restoring Timepieces
Clock value, functionality, antiquity and longevity are maximised due to the synergistic collaboration and craftsmanship of horologist and GN Olsson Mastercraftsmen (clock case maker and repairer). The horologist will work on the clockwork, whilst GN Olsson Mastercraftsmen ready the case. Your case will then be delivered to the horologist so he can expertly fit and test the clockworks in the case prior to notifying you of the completion of the project. You gain from dealing directly with the horologist, with no middlemen or commissions involved. With pickup or delivery arranged by the horologist, you will gain first-hand knowledge and advice regarding the set-up, maintenance and running of the clock.

GN Olsson Mastercraftsmen have expertise in all aspects of timber, veneer and inlay repair, porcelain, metal, marble and slate restoration and conservation, and can carve and turn missing features. Hinges and knobs can be repaired or replaced, and we retain a stock of authentic antique and vintage glass to replace broken panes. Traditional hand French polishing is usually recommended in pure shellac which has proven its worth over centuries. Gilding, hand-painted faux finishes and marbling can all be restored, and our jewellers, micro-engineers, engravers, gold & silversmiths can work absolute miracles on your treasured piece. |

Quotations and Service for your treasured timepiece: GN Olsson Mastercraftsmen and their collaborative horologists ensure both the case and the works are maintained, repaired, restored or conserved to exacting standards. Clock case – GN Olsson Mastercraftsmen provide free estimates for case restoration from photos, or following workshop inspection. We remove the works for the horologist, so they can repair them whilst we attend to the clock case. You are invited to inspect the case upon completion. Then the clock case is provided to the horologist, and you will pick up the entire clock direct from the horologist. Clockworks – Our highly qualified and experienced horologist colleagues attend to the clockworks. We can advise you of the most appropriate horologist for your clock and location. Typically, the clockworks service, repair or restoration quote will be provided by the horologist after workshop inspection.

Famous History of Royalty ClockElvin Harvey, of Harvey Bros, Woolloongabba, son of internationally renowned furniture maker, woodcarver and sculptor, LJ Harvey, was commissioned by the Queensland Government to make an ornately carved longcase clock as a gift for the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Gary Olsson was honoured to be a fully qualified cabinet maker working on the team, which had Elvin, Gary’s teacher, as a designer and principal master carver. Unlike a multitude of royal gifts, we understand that the clock has been retained – an honour to Queensland.
