Produced during the Georgian era, these longcase clocks typically feature rich mahogany or oak cabinets housing weight-driven pendulum movements with hand-crafted brass or painted dials.

Authentic period examples display hand-engraved brass dial plates, cast brass corner spandrels, hand-cut gear teeth within the movement, and timber with natural age-related patination.

Dust the timber casing regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, and have the mechanical movement lubricated by a professional horologist every five years.
