This late nineteenth-century French Provincial longcase clock takes the form of a tall walnut floor timepiece standing 267 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 25 cm deep. The warm brown wooden case incorporates an arched bonnet with a glazed opening, a flat-topped crown moulding, a rectangular panelled trunk door with a small keyhole and a circular glass pendulum aperture, and a panelled base. Inside the hood, an embossed brass fascia features foliate scroll decorations surrounding a circular white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and a maker inscription. Brass accents and dark wood grains define the finish of the upright housing. In a modern interior, this Comtoise clock serves as a statement timepiece for a grand hallway, a spacious living room, or a traditional study, adding height and vertical presence to the corner of a room. The piece functions practically to indicate time while functioning visually as architectural furniture with visible metallic and enamel elements.

FAQs

Originating from the Franche-Comte region of France, Comtoise clocks, also known as Morbier clocks, are tallcase pendulum clocks featuring embossed brass frontispieces surrounding an enamel dial, housed within a timber case.

These longcase clocks feature solid wood cases, commonly constructed from walnut, oak, or fruitwood, alongside cast iron internal movements, repousse brass dial surrounds, and enamel faces.

Authentic examples feature a weight-driven movement, a characteristic pressed brass surround above an enamel Roman numeral dial, and a waist door with a glass inspection aperture to view the pendulum.

A tallcase clock serves as a focal point when positioned in an entrance hall, landing, or dining room, introducing vertical height and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Maintain the timber casing by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax polish once per year, keeping the clock away from direct heat sources to prevent warping.
