FAQs

Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, emerged in Britain during the late 17th century following the introduction of the anchor escapement and pendulum, which allowed for much greater accuracy and narrower cases.

Traditional construction typically involved native timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut for the case, housing a brass and iron movement with lead weights and a pendulum.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the integration of the movement to the dial, the consistency of the wood aging, hand-cut screws, signature engravings on the brass dial, and the construction methods used inside the trunk.

An antique longcase clock functions as a strong vertical anchor in a hallway, living room, or study, contrasting effectively against minimalist walls and contemporary furnishings.

Preservation requires placement away from direct sunlight and heat sources, stable ambient humidity to protect the wood and movement, and professional servicing every few years to clean and lubricate the gears.
