The Antique Clock Co. has dated this Antique Oak Longcase Clock to the 18th Century.
The 12-inch break-arched painted dial showcases an early design with exquisite gilt detailing on raised gesso in the arch and corners, complemented by subsidiary seconds and calendar dials. The original blued steel hands feature a delicate diamond pattern, adding to the charm and authenticity of this remarkable timepiece.
Beneath the elegant exterior lies an 8-day, weight-driven movement, skillfully designed to strike the hours on a bell via a rack and snail striking system with precision and grace. A harmonious blend of form and function, this longcase clock is a testament to James Coster’s legacy and craftsmanship.
Perfect for collectors or as a distinguished centrepiece, this clock combines historical value with enduring beauty.
