Long Case Clock

18th century
For Sale by Hedley Wilson
Description

A mahogany cased clock from the north-west.

The case is of fine quality, with well chosen decorative veneers, and has architectural details typical of the north-west of England.

The 13" break arch dial has a moonroller automaton, with subtle artwork, and the spandrels in each corner are silvered, an unusual and attractive feature. This was probably due to the first owner's request, as the silvering appears to be original. It is signed by Nicholas Wilson of Kendal.

The centre of the dial is finely engraved, and with the words ' Thus irrevocable time flieth away ', in a cartouche.

The four pillar movement is of eight day duration

Height 85"

c. 1785

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.

Longcase clocks from the Georgian period are characterised by proportions governed by classical architecture, often utilising flame mahogany, oak, or walnut casing. They typically incorporate brass dials, cast spandrels, and weight-driven pendulum movements.

Cabinets were primarily constructed from solid and veneered hardwoods, including mahogany, walnut, and oak. Dial faces utilized cast brass spandrels, silvered metal chapter rings, and steel or iron components within the clockwork.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original movement mounting seatboards, and consistent patination on the wooden case and brass elements. Hand-engraved numerals and signs of period ironworking further indicate original construction.

A longcase clock functions as an architectural focal point within entrance halls, dining rooms, or formal studies. Positioning the piece against a neutral or deep-toned backdrop allows the mahogany grain and brass work to anchor the room.

The mechanical movement requires professional cleaning and re-oiling every five to seven years. The timber case should be positioned away from direct heat sources and preserved using natural beeswax polish.
