Red Colored Paint On Old Clock Cases
Hello To All...The question is what is the paint/stain that was used on the
inside of now today's antique clocks. When I open an antique clock case and look inside I notice a brick red colored semitransparent finish on the wood. Does anyone know what they used back then to this? Milk paint wash or what? This process was used on some and not all wood cased clocks. Thanks In Advance...DR |

But nearly every red pigment is red ochre, still popular today. The carrier could be milk paint and for cases it often was. However if it's semi-translucent, then it's probably shellac. It might have been a spirit varnish, but they've always been expensive and awkward compared to shellac. |
