Penman opens UK workshop
After eight 'enjoyable years' teaching at the American Watchmaker-Clockmaker Institute in Ohio, Laurie Penman is back in the UK and open for business.
Many mantel clock cases, especially French mantel clocks, are embellished with decorative marble inlays and columns. If these features become damaged or are missing they can be difficult replace. Sometimes finding a matching replacement is impossible. Meadows & Passmore provide a range of faux marble papers that are difficult to tell from true marble. Four patterns measuring 7.5in by 11in are currently available and provide a realistic alternative to real marble.
