Antique Door Bell Restoration - Restoration Videos.
Hello again everyone. I'm with you again with a great project. A project that contains metal,brass, wood and a lot more. An electrical doorbell, made by American C.F. Thomson-Huston company in Paris. This product is a great concept, both design-wise and practicality-wise which mesmerized me, which I think it would to you as well. From what I have been told by the seller of this product, I have learned that it came from a mansion. At first glance, you can see that metal pieces were heavily corroded. The wood case blackened due to moisture and with metal pieces they were painted multiple times. But wood wasn’t rotten. When I opened it, there were plenty of spiders and spider webs. The coils inside looked bad from the outside but when I checked them, I realized they were working but the connections were not so good. We worked with my friend @byOldHand in this project, he helped me with wood. All the wood restoration was done in @byOldHand 's workshop. Thank you @byOldHand We worked hard to get this product to the final condition, consisting many metal and brass pieces. Every finishing plan I did, project got longer. And I wanna say that, the smaller the product is, bigger the project. So this looks like a small doorbell, but for me it was a huge project. Talking about this technically, all the metal and brass pieces had a silver look to them and I restored them keeping this in mind. The label on the product was something similar to silver, some people call it German silver, bafon metal. It was gold plated at some point but I decided otherwise and let it stay silver. And this was decided considering the integrity of the looks as a whole. A long and detailed video awaits you. Let’s see if you like it. I look forward to read your comments. Take care.
