The Baron Bruno Schroder Mahogany Longcase Clock By William Warren, Royston, Circa 1750

£6,500    $8,216    €7,801
This elegant George III mahogany long-case clock, crafted by the renowned William Warren of Royston, is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of 18th-century English craftsmanship. The clock features a gracefully shaped pediment crowning an arched door that houses a 12-inch arched brass dial. The dial itself is a marvel of horology, boasting an 8-day, hour-striking movement, complete with subsidiary dials for date, seconds, and a strike/silent option.
 
The clock’s trunk is adorned with a long arched door, meticulously inlaid with boxwood fans and framed by satinwood banding, exuding a sense of refined luxury. The base echoes this design, with matching fan inlay and satinwood banding, all resting elegantly on ogee bracket feet.
 
While William Warren’s work dates back to circa 1753, this particular case was likely fashioned around 1790 to house the movement. Its provenance is as distinguished as its design, having been acquired directly from the descendants of Baron Bruno Schroder, co-owner of the Schroder Institution. This clock is not just a timekeeper; it is a piece of history, a work of art, and a legacy of a storied lineage.
