If in search of an authentic and antique Maltese clock, our ‘ invecchiamento ‘ technique does the trick.

TIME IS GOLD: A master gilder adds the finishing touches to a gilded Maltese wall clock, known as “arloġġ tal-lira” (pound clock). Emerging in the 17th century, the traditional clock has transcended its mere function of keeping time, becoming a captivating decorative element gracing the walls of palaces, auberges of the Knights of the Order of St John, grand residences, and convents. These meticulously crafted and adorned works of art continue to be highly sought after, their timeless beauty adding a touch of sophistication and refinement to any space.
