This Georgian longcase clock uses warm brown mahogany, brass fittings, and clear glass. The hood has a swan-neck pediment topped with a brass eagle finial, flanking brass rosettes, reeded side columns with brass capitals and bases, and an arched glazed door framing the engraved brass dial. The dial shows Roman and Arabic numerals, a strike-silent arch, a subsidiary seconds dial, and a date aperture, complemented by cast brass corner spandrels. The trunk door sits above bracket feet, and the piece shows visible wear and age across the timber surfaces. Measuring 208 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, it stands as a traditional floor-standing timepiece for placement in a hallway, study, or living room. Robert Thomson of Bowness made this George III clock, housing an eight-day bell-strike movement operated by brass-cased lead weights. The mechanical setup includes a serviced and tested movement alongside a functional date display and seconds tracking. The timber case exhibits traditional joinery and banded inlay details visible along the structure. Interior components include exposed weights and pendulum suspension elements viewed through the trunk opening. The vertical proportions suit narrow wall spaces in historic or traditional interior settings.

FAQs

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.

These timepieces feature wooden cases crafted from flame mahogany or oak, accented with cast brass dials, spandrels, and weight-driven internal iron mechanisms.

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.

Position the clock as a focal anchor in an entrance hall, stair landing, or formal study alongside clean-lined furniture to contrast its historic silhouette.

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.
