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 chinoiserie longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven pendulum clock featuring a timber case decorated with European imitations of East Asian lacquerwork, gilded motifs, and landscapes, which were prominent during the 18th century.

These clocks typically feature pine or oak carcasses finished with layers of japanned lacquer and gilt decoration, alongside cast brass spandrels, brass movements, and silvered dial rings.

Authentic examples display hand-engraved brass dial plates, cast spandrels attached with screws, period-appropriate movement construction, and natural craquelure throughout the lacquered varnish.

Place the clock as a focal statement piece in an entryway, hallway, or reception room, setting the dark lacquered surface against neutral plaster walls to emphasize the gilded detailing.

Dust the exterior gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or solvent cleaners, and maintain consistent indoor humidity levels to prevent the timber and lacquer from cracking.
