Georgian Longcase Clock, Stunning and Imposing

18th century
For Sale by Clockwise
Description

Clockwise is delighted to present another fine eight day Georgian longcase clock having just enjoyed full and sympathetic restorations performed to the case, dial and movement. Dating from circa 1820, in lovely condition and standing an imposing 2.36m (7 feet 9 inches) tall to the top of the centre finial, the boxwood strung mahogany case is surmounted by an arched hood supporting three brass finials, the centre finial being raised atop a decorative plinth. Plain pillars with brass capitals to top and bottom flank the hood door to the front. The trunk contains a lovely long round-top boxwood-strung door which retains its working key and lock, and the clock stands on matching mahogany bracket feet below the base which has matching boxwood stringing.

The arched dial is signed 'W Coulson, N. Sheilds' and is in gorgeous condition being a fine example of a painted dial with working seconds and date sub-dials; the Arabic numerals and gentle image of a young lady carrying a basket with her dog alongside, beside a lake, paints a restful mood. Well painted sea shells and seaweed to each dial corner frame the dial and matching brass hands complete the impressive appearance.

The four pillar, rack-striking, eight day anchor escapement movement has been fully refurbished with new lines provided and the clock strikes the full hours on a beautifully mellow bell. The clock benefits from my three year guarantee.

This clock really is a beautiful and gently imposing piece of furniture and delivery and set-up is available.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.

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 Georgian longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing, weight-driven pendulum clock housed in a wooden cabinet, produced during the Georgian era between 1714 and 1830.

These clocks were typically built using mahogany or oak for the outer casing, featuring cast brass finials, painted iron or brass dial plates, and hand-forged brass and steel internal movements.

Authentic examples feature hand-cut joinery, original weight-driven mechanisms, period-appropriate painted or engraved brass dials displaying the makers town or name, and authentic historic timber patination.

Position the clock as a focal piece in an entryway, hallway, or study to add historical depth, allowing the warm mahogany timber to contrast against neutral contemporary walls.

Position the clock in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and radiators, dust the timber case with a microfibre cloth, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every five to seven years.
