Description

A handsome mid 18th Cent Longcase clock by Benjamin Fieldhouse of Leominster, Hereford. He is listed as working there in 1756.

The case is in nicely figured walnut and is in unrestored "country house" condition. As normal with clocks of this age there are traces of historic woodworm but these have been treated as a precaution. The trunk door has a working lock and key

The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with silvered chapter ring and a large boss to the arch with the makers name. It also has a subsidiary seconds dial and date indicator. It has what look like the original brass cased weights but the brass covering is somewhat distressed.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time. Judging by the number of restorers stickers to the back of the dial it has been regularly serviced.

Free local (50mls) delivery and set up. National and international delivery arranged at cost.

Date of Manufacture

Cross Antiques has dated this Figured Walnut Grandfather Clock to the Georgian era.

FAQs

Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, originated in the late 17th century following the invention of the anchor escapement by Robert Hooke, which allowed for longer pendulums and narrower weights.

These clocks were typically constructed using a supportive softwood framework, such as pine or oak, veneered with highly figured hardwoods like walnut or mahogany, and featured brass and pewter clock face components.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-cut brass gear trains, cast brass dial spandrels, regional maker signatures engraved on the face plate, and natural timber shrinkage cracks beneath traditional wax finishes.

A grandfather clock serves as a strong vertical focal point and can be integrated into contemporary spaces by positioning it against neutral walls to highlight the rich timber grain and historical craftsmanship.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels to prevent wood veneer cracking, protect timber surfaces with microcrystalline wax, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years.
