Description

Clockwise is delighted to showcase for your consideration an excellent Regency longcase clock by a well known Scottish clockmaking dynasty.

The recently overhauled high-quality eight day movement strikes the full hours on a lovely bell and has a recoil anchor escapement. The renovated 13.5 inch circular enamel dial features a working seconds dial along with a working date subdial with matching hands to compliment the appearance and the dial is signed by the maker - Whitelaw, Edinburgh - to the centre. The movement also features a brass pendulum bob and matching brass-cased weights.

The elegantly proportioned flame mahogany veneered case of typical Scottish proportions has boxwood crossbanded throughout with reeded quarter columns to the trunk. The trunk door retains its working lock and the base also benefits from inlay and has a raised single moulding and small bracket feet. The hood has further decorative inlaid boxwood to each corner, sound windows with brass fretwork to each side of the hood and decorative chamfered edging to the front. A glazed concave brass bezel with lovely original wavy glass allows access to the dial. The hood retains its original working wooden lock for the hood to the trunk. The overall height of this clock is 6 feet 8 inches and the clock benefits from my three year warranty.

James, Alexander and David Whitelaw were highly skilled and innovative clockmakers working from the late 1700's until 1846 who specialised in longcase and bracket clocks and all appear to have worked from both 75 Princes Street and Register Street in Edinburgh. Their work is highly sought after and this clock is a fine example of their work.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with global 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.

Regency longcase clocks date from the early 19th century, reflecting neoclassical influences with refined proportions, sophisticated timber veneers, and often featuring regional craftsmanship from centres such as Edinburgh and London.

These clocks are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak, often adorned with contrasting stringing, figured wood veneers, brass bezels, and complex mechanical brass gear movements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-painted or engraved dial, the wear patterns on the internal mechanical movement, traditional joinery methods, and the natural ageing and patination of the timber.

A longcase clock serves as a strong vertical focal point and works well positioned in an entrance hallway, a traditional study, or anchoring an empty wall space within a living area.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources to prevent timber warping, and arrange for professional servicing of the mechanical movement every few years.
