This Regency longcase clock stands 198.5 cm high, 44 cm wide, and 24 cm deep, operating as an eight-day timepiece enclosed in rich brown mahogany timber with visible flame mahogany veneer. The exterior displays a rounded arched hood moulding over a circular white dial marked with Roman numerals, a full-length rectangular trunk door with a small dark keyhole escutcheon on the left edge, and a stepped plinth base at the bottom. The wood exhibits prominent undulating grain patterns running vertically down the central door and lower plinth. Inside a hallway, landing, or study, this tall clock functions as a traditional timekeeping piece while serving as a statement furnishing against a flat vertical wall. The narrow vertical footprint allows placement in tighter architectural spaces while maintaining a commanding presence from the floor up to the curved top of the hood.

FAQs

An eight-day longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven pendulum clock housed in a timber case, constructed with a gear train designed to run for eight full days between windings.

These longcase clocks frequently utilise mahogany or flame mahogany veneers over solid timber frames, combined with brass movement plates, iron weights, steel arbors, and glass dial covers.

Authentic Regency longcase clocks feature hand-finished movement components, original maker signatures on the dial face, correct weight-drop marks inside the trunk, and flame mahogany timber construction.

Place the clock in an entrance hallway, stairwell landing, or formal dining room where its tall architectural proportions establish a grounding focal point against neutral backdrops.

Keep the timber casing in a climate-controlled room away from direct heat and sunlight, apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the veneer, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
