Longcase with Penny Moon Signed Henry Smith

18th century
Description

This London quality longcase with rare Penny Moon, in pagoda top. Delightfully faded mahogany case, silk fretted sound aperture to the case top. Short grain moulding to the arch, supported by reeded and brass inlaid pillars. The trunk with very unusual ribbed columns to the sides, shaped flame mahogany door with boxwood inlay supported on a crossbanded, flame mahogany base. The dial of sublime quality with engraved oak leaf perimeter. The arch with Penny Moon and serpent spandrels and additional floral engraving over a chapter ring with fine half hour markers. The matted centre with ringed winding holes, engraved date aperture and seconds ring. Fine steel hands. All edged with oak leaf engravings and cornered and crowned mask spandrels. Signed HENRY SMITH. The high quality of the dial is more than matched by the five pillar movement, the pillars being knopped and finned in the manner of much earlier clocks. The 8 day movement striking bell. Brass capped weights. Overall flamboyant and very impressive clock. Fully overhauled, one year guarantee.

FAQs

A longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing, weight-driven pendulum clock enclosed within a wooden cabinet. Originating in the late 17th century, these timepieces were engineered to protect the pendulum mechanism and weights while serving as prominent decorative furniture in grand homes.

Traditional longcase clocks were crafted using solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often featuring decorative wood veneers. Clock dials were constructed from brass or painted sheet iron, with internal movements made from durable cast brass and steel components.

Authentic Georgian longcase clocks typically feature hand-engraved brass or painted dials, spandrel decorations on the dial corners, and hand-cut steel hands. Additional indicators include weight-driven mechanical movements, hand-carved joinery on the wooden case, and maker signatures engraved directly onto the dial face.

A longcase clock can be styled as a focal accent piece in an entrance hallway, dining room, or home library. Pairing the rich wood tone of the clock cabinet with neutral wall paint and minimal contemporary decor creates a balanced contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

To preserve a longcase clock, keep the wooden case away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme changes in humidity to prevent wood warping. The internal mechanical movement should be regularly oiled and serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
