The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Produced during the joint reign of King William III and Queen Mary II (16891702), these longcase clocks are marked by architectural proportions, square brass dials, and the sophisticated use of figure-grained wood veneers such as burr walnut, elm, or marquetry.

Cabinetmakers constructed the structural carcass from oak or pine, which was then faced with highly figured veneers like burr elm or walnut. Clock movements were crafted from forged iron and cast brass, featuring engraved brass dials with silvered chapter rings.

Authentic pieces typically feature a square brass dial rather than an arched dial, corner spandrels depicting cherubs or scrolling foliage, slender trunk proportions, and a flat-topped hood rather than later pagoda or swan-neck pediments.

Place the clock as a focal architectural accent in a high-ceilinged hallway, entrance foyer, or study, pairing its warm timber tones with muted modern wall finishes and tailored upholstery.

Keep the clock in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and damp walls to protect timber veneers from cracking or lifting. Apply a high-quality beeswax paste sparingly once or twice a year to nourish the wood finish.
