Rare Longcase Clock

19th century
Description

Very likely a special customer commission this long case clock has 2 or 3 really unusual features. Firstly is the painted dial, the four corners are decorated with Eastern architectural ruins , whilst to the top arch is a Bedouin trader with two camels set inbetween two stone pillars. In all over 60 years of trading we have not come across this subject matter on a longcase clock. The second unusual feature is the case. Typical in size for the period, mainly choice mahogany veneers with rosewood crossbanding , but not ordinary is the boxwood inlays to the door (set on burr walnut) and the further foliate inlays set on bowed panels, beneath and above the central door. Even the uppermost pediment has a striped inlaid panel above which sits a pyramid style of feature. The whole case is in very good original condition. The eight day movement has had a light service and is ticking away merrily. A rare beast indeed.

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

A longcase clock, also known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, freestanding pendulum clock housed in a wooden cabinet. First developed in the mid-17th century, these clocks gained widespread popularity during the Georgian and Victorian eras due to their superior timekeeping accuracy.

Traditional longcase clocks feature cabinets crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, often enhanced with marquetry, parquetry, or brass inlays. The mechanical movements consist of brass plates and steel arbors, driven by lead or iron weights.

Authentic period pieces typically showcase hand-cut dovetail joints on the case, cast brass or painted iron dials signed by the maker, and hand-forged movement components. Natural oxidation on internal timber surfaces and variations in hand-finished parts also indicate period construction.

Positioning a tall clock in a high-ceilinged hallway, stair landing, or formal reception room creates an architectural focal point. Offsetting the dark timber against neutral wall finishes and contemporary artwork highlights the silhouette while balancing traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Keep the clock situated away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement and veneer damage. The mechanical movement should be professionally cleaned and lubricated every three to five years, and the wooden cabinet preserved using high-quality beeswax paste.
