This Georgian longcase clock uses dark brown mahogany timber with a polished finish, flame mahogany veneer on the trunk door, and clear glass protecting the arched dial. The hood has an arched pediment topped by three brass ball-and-spire finials, flanked by brass quarter Corinthian columns, while the trunk features brass stopped fluted side columns and a re-entrant raised base panel with original skirting. The silvered brass dial displays blued steel hands, a strike/silent ring in the arch, seconds and date sub-dials, and Roman numerals. It stands 233 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. Position this tall timepiece in a hallway, study, or living room where it stands on the floor against a vertical wall. The heavy upright proportions fit grand entryways or traditional reception spaces, bringing formal horological function and classical eighteenth-century joinery to an interior setting.

FAQs

A Georgian longcase clock dates from the period between 1714 and 1830, characterised by fine cabinetmaking, weight-driven movements, and tall wooden enclosures designed to protect the pendulum and weights.

These clocks typically feature solid or veneered mahogany, oak, or walnut cases, complemented by brass dials, silvered chapter rings, and cast brass spandrels or finials.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut gears, hand-engraved brass dials often bearing the makers name and town, correct construction jointing, and age-consistent oxidation on internal metalwork.

A longcase clock serves as an architectural focal point in hallways, foyers, or formal drawing rooms, pairing well with contemporary minimal decor or classic traditional interiors.

Ensure the movement is professionally cleaned and oiled every five to seven years, wind the weight mechanism weekly, and place the cabinet away from direct heat sources and dampness.
