Lady Sue Kilbracken, if you happen to read this, I would gladly restore the lacquer part if you want to. Pro bono, just for the pleasure of restoring it. I am an Urushi and Makie restorer with a 15 years experience in Japan, and i am certain that i could just bring out the original pattern, which seems more Japanese then Chinese, without making it look too new just much less damaged, and preserving the authenticity of the work and of the clock. But i know absolutely nothing about clocks so all i can do is restore the lacquer work and all I'd ask is you to purchase the gold foil required. I can provide free of charge the lacquer myself and i'd do the rest for free as well. This is a 3 months job and it has to be done during the rainy season (which in the UK is pretty much all the time i assume) because lacquer only dries and harden when the atmosphere is humid. I think this piece has either spent a lot of time in the sun and/or in dry places of maybe near a fireplace and this is what damaged it so badly. Lacquer must be kept in a cool and humid area.

It would be a sin to "restore" this clock. You would just have a new clock. It's history and patina would be destroyed. I'd pay to have the black paint around the outside removed and that is all. You could have a brand new one made that would look exactly like the restored old one if that's what you wanted. I'd rather have an un-restored old one in this case.

- I think it had something to do with a tax on clock that was introduced. - No, the prime minister at the time introduced a tax on clocks Why can't Brit ever recognize that someone else is right and need to find the bid they are wrong about. From a Japanese point of view this is so weird to watch the host of the show react so negatively to what the lady said. We have the same show in Japan and when a person knows even just a little bit about the history of an item, the host always congratulates them and point out how please he is when someone actually did their homework. But here the guy had to try to prove that woman wrong. I find it really disturbing. My mother was once wearing a Kimono in London and one man out of nowhere came and told her that the pattern was rabbits because it was fertility, and my mother told the man that this was because this was early september and in Japan the month is associated with the full moon and the moon is associated with the rabbit. And the man told her that SHE was wrong and that this was a sign of fertility. My mother found it hilarious that this English man would try to teach her the symbolic of rabbits on her own Kimono. So she simply said, you must be right and i must be wrong. And the man had the nerve to tell her "You see you learned something you didn't know about the symbolic of rabbits in Japan". You love confrontation in the west, you find it amusing to tell people that they are wrong.

That is categorically wrong. When taxes are used to pay the interest on services that all citizens use. There is a key thing that a lot of goofball conservatives don’t understand about government deficits, borrowing, and spending. When the government borrows money it borrows it at a much lower interest rate than most citizens. Governments, just like companies and individuals, do have to keep borrowing money in order to keep having it available at low interest rates. That means that if government spending is effectively spent on services that most citizens use, then those programs cost less overall then they would if individuals have to pay out of pocket. The issue has never been tax collecting, borrowing, and social programs. The issue is shitty distribution, which occurs when two parties have to compromise and corruption redirects a big portion of the money to bullshit pork projects. If what you’re saying is true then Republican presidents would see reductions in inflation and deficit because of conservative policies. This is never true. Every Republican in modern times has increased the deficit and raised inflation. Most have increased tax revenue collected from individuals while decreasing it for the wealthy and corporations. You’re being scammed homie. Even casual research proves it.
