Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Robert Lawson of Leigh engraved on dial: recorded working in Lancashire around 1780.
Brass dial with rococo corner spandrels: eighteenth-century clock face design.
Painted rolling moon disc in arch: mechanical lunar calendar of the Georgian era.
Geometric chequered inlay and blind fretwork: typical regional cabinetwork from north-west England.
Fine vertical shrinkage lines across the flame veneer: natural ageing of old mahogany.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This Georgian longcase clock dates from the 18th century and is made of mahogany, brass, and glass in a warm brown colour. The tall standing case measures 233 cm high, 62 cm wide, and 26 cm deep. The swan-neck pediment has finely carved wooden finials and gilt carved roses, with verre eglomise blue background details and reeded brass gilt columns. The brass and silvered dial arch features a painted moon and maritime scene signed by Robert Lawson, Leigh. The long figured mahogany trunk door has a scalloped edge, flanked by quarter columns, and opens with a cast brass key and white tassel hardware. The base has crossbanding and stringing, standing on low ogee bracket feet. Positioned on the floor against an interior wall, this grandfather clock suits placement in a hallway, drawing room, or study. Its traditional English country house design brings historical character and mechanical timekeeping to domestic spaces. The clean movement runs and strikes the hours, showing light usage wear appropriate for its age. The warm timber tones and detailed cabinetry integrate with traditional period interiors or eclectic modern rooms.

FAQs

A Georgian moon phase longcase clock is a tall, floor-standing timepiece crafted during the 18th or early 19th century, featuring a mechanical movement that tracks both the time and the lunar cycle.

These clocks were primarily constructed using native and imported woods such as flame mahogany or oak, accented with brass spandrels, cast iron weights, and engraved silvered brass dials.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut gears, hand-engraved brass dials, historical maker signatures, weight-driven 8-day movements, and original pegged joinery within the cabinet.

Place the clock in a spacious hallway, entryway, or formal dining room where its vertical proportions create an architectural focal point alongside contemporary art or clean-lined seating.

Keep the clock away from direct heat sources and moisture, dust the wooden case with a microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly, and ensure the mechanical movement is professionally serviced periodically.
