A beautiful mahogany break arch case with fine mouldings and a moulded hood door flanked by fluted, reeded and canted corners. Surmounted by a four sided concave pedestal with a brass ball and flame finial. The break arch trunk door with flame veneers matches the raised panel to the base with a double plinth.

12-inch break arch brass dial with subsidiary calendar dial to the arch flanked by pierced foliate spandrels. Silvered chapter dial with large seconds dial signed “Mattw. & Thos. Dutton, London”. It also features the original blued steel hands and is numbered 239.

This eighteenth-century Georgian longcase clock uses mahogany, brass, and glass. The exterior displays a rich mahogany brown colour with a flame mahogany veneer on the break arch trunk door and the raised panel base, complemented by fine mouldings, a moulded hood door with fluted, reeded and canted corners, and a four-sided concave pedestal mounted with a brass ball and flame finial. The 12-inch break arch brass dial includes a subsidiary calendar dial in the arch, pierced foliate spandrels, a silvered chapter dial, a large seconds dial signed in black lettering, and original blued steel hands. Inside sits an 8-day movement with thick plates, five baluster pillars, an anchor escapement, and a heavy lenticular brass-faced bob suspended from an iron-rod pendulum. Standing 230 cm high, the clock fits well in a gentleman's library or a grand hallway as a statement timepiece that chimes the hours on a bell. The substantial proportions and traditional architecture suit classic interior settings, where the tall vertical case commands attention against a wall while serving its practical purpose of tracking time and dates.

FAQs

An eight-day longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing pendulum clock driven by weights that require winding once every eight days.

High-grade Georgian longcase clocks were predominantly crafted from mahogany or walnut cases, featuring brass dial plates, spandrels, and mechanical movements made of brass and steel.

Authentic Georgian examples usually feature hand-engraved dials, flame mahogany veneers, cast brass spandrels, and weight-driven eight-day movements signed by notable horologists.

A longcase clock functions as an architectural anchor in a hallway, reception room, or study, complementing modern minimalist decor through its rich wood tones and classic proportions.

Keep the case away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement, ensure the clock is placed on a stable, level surface, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a horologist every five to seven years.
