Georgian Longcase Clock

18th century
Description

A quite stunning thirty hour longcase clock by Johnathon Lee of Bury. The square brass dial has wonderful etched decoration with cast brass spandrels to the four corners. With the dial is a date aperture and the clock has been serviced and is ticking along nicely. For a country oak cased clock, it has exceptional inlaid chevron inlays throughout with starbursts to the door and box base. The four pillar hood has the most marvellous domed top with a fantastic fretwork panel. The case is in very good condition with an excellent patina and warm colour. For a provincial Lancashire clock it is amongst the most attractive you are likely to see.

FAQs

A longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing, weight-driven pendulum clock enclosed in a wooden cabinet. Originating in the late seventeenth century, Georgian longcase clocks were prominent throughout the eighteenth century, serving as precise horological instruments and status symbols.

These clocks were predominantly constructed from solid timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, frequently featuring decorative marquetry, parquetry, or wood inlays. The mechanical movements were made from cast brass plates and steel arbours, paired with etched brass spandrel dials.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the movement for hand-forged components, brass square or arch dials with applied corner spandrels, and weight-driven mechanisms. Georgian cases often feature square or arched dials, period-appropriate joinery, and natural hand-finished timber patina.

A longcase clock creates a striking architectural focal point when positioned in a spacious hallway, entryway, or formal reception room. Pairing dark timber and traditional silhouettes with neutral contemporary walls balances heritage design with modern styling.

Keep the wooden cabinet away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fluctuating humidity to prevent wood movement and finish degradation. The mechanical clock movement should be professionally cleaned and lubricated by a qualified horologist every five to seven years.
