This English traditional longcase clock dates from the 1920 period and measures 196 cm high, 44.5 cm wide, and 27.5 cm deep. The tall case uses dark brown oak timber with prominent figuring, constructed with an arched hood, linear mouldings around the trunk door, and a plinth base raised on bun feet. A central carved oval patera decorates the front door panel, complemented by carved brass spandrels framing the round clock face. The dial features Roman numerals and black text reading Tempus Fugit, protected beneath a glass cover within the brass-accented chapter ring. Inside, an eight-day musical movement sounds the Westminster and Whittington chimes on the quarters and strikes the hours. The timber displays natural grain patterns and warm honey tones across the dark brown surfaces, while the brass elements show traditional polished patination. Positioned on the floor in a hallway or principal reception space, this tall grandfather clock provides a working timepiece and decorative wooden furniture item suitable for traditional country house interiors.

FAQs

A longcase clock, commonly called a grandfather clock, is a tall, tallcase, weight-driven pendulum clock housed in a freestanding wooden case.

Traditional longcase clocks feature solid hardwood cases such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, paired with brass movements, steel pendulums, and etched or cast brass dial plates.

Authentic period longcase clocks typically show hand-cut joinery, cast brass dial spandrels, weight-driven brass pendulum mechanisms, and historical maker signatures on the dial or movement plate.

Position the longcase clock as a structural focal point against a plain wall in an entryway, hallway, or dining space to contrast historic craftsmanship with contemporary architectural lines.

Keep the clock level on an even floor, regularly wind the mechanism according to its design cycle, keep the wooden case away from direct heat sources, and have the internal movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
