Description

A handsome early 18th Cent Longcase clock by Richard Haughtin, Fetter Lane, London. He is listed as working there from 1691 to 1714.

The nicely proportioned case looks very smart in highly figured walnut. The trunk door has a glass lentical to observe the swing of the pendulum. The trunk door has a working lock and key

The 8 day, 5 pillar movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with a silvered chapter ring and gilt spandrels. It has a subsidiary seconds dial and date indicator. It has brass cased weights.

The case is in good condition but as is usual with clocks of this age has had some historic restoration, particularly to the base.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time. It looks to have had little use since being serviced.

Free local delivery and setup (70mls), national and international delivery arranged at cost.

Date of Manufacture

Cross Antiques has dated this Walnut Longcase Grandfather Clock to the 18th Century.

FAQs

Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, originated in the late 17th century following the invention of the anchor escapement. They evolved from wall-hanging timepieces into free-standing floor models housed in protective wooden cases designed to shelter the delicate pendulum and weights.

These clocks are typically constructed from native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, often featuring intricate veneer work or marquetry on early examples. The movements consist of brass gears, plates, and iron or lead weights, housed within hinged wooden hoods and trunk doors.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut brass movements, original timber shrinkage cracks, period-appropriate brass dial spandrels, and joinery techniques consistent with the era, such as hand-cut dovetails and pegged frames, rather than modern machine-cut elements.

A longcase clock serves as a striking architectural focal point and works well positioned in traditional hallways, libraries, or living rooms alongside complementary vintage furniture. Its vertical lines help draw the eye upward, adding gravitas and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves maintaining a stable indoor environment away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations, which can warp the timber and damage the movement. Regular professional servicing every few years ensures the mechanical components remain clean and properly lubricated.
