Victorian Regulator Longcase Clock

19th century
Description

A mahogany cased super quality regulator timepiece. Of unusual form this rare regulator clock with circular silvered dial has a super quality movement including six spoke wheel work and Harrisons maintaining power within heavy plates.

Both the dial and beat regulation plate are inscribed Passmore, Sidmouth which likely relates to the business that originally commissioned the clock rather than the maker. Many of these timepieces were originally displayed in jewellers’ shops where accuracy was paramount.

For the increased accuracy associated with this type of time piece it also has a heavy twin flask mercury compensating pendulum. Powered by a single large brass bound weight the clock currently keeps accurate time to within a few seconds a week.

Size height 188cm width 42cm depth 22.5cm

Declaration

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.

A regulator longcase clock is a high-precision timepiece engineered in the 19th century, designed primarily to keep accurate time for synchronising other clocks in workshops, observatories, or commercial spaces.

Victorian regulators typically feature flame mahogany or oak cases with glass trunk doors, painted or silvered dial faces, and mercury-compensated or invar pendulums to minimise thermal expansion.

Authentic regulators feature deadbeat escapements, maintaining power mechanisms, heavy compensated pendulums, and precise engraving on the dial alongside maker marks from recognized regional horologists.

Position the clock as an architectural anchor in a hallway, library, or reception room, balancing its rich timber tones against neutral wall palettes, clean-lined furniture, or classic brass accents.

Keep the clock away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the timber finish, ensure the case sits on a level floor, and have the movement professionally cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every five to seven years.
