This small grandmother longcase clock originates from around 1900 in a traditional English country house style, constructed from solid oak in a dark brown finish with brass and glass elements. The piece stands at 166.8 cm high, 35.3 cm wide, and 22 cm deep. The design incorporates an arched hood enclosing a brass dial set with Roman numerals, cherub spandrels, and a silvered chapter ring, alongside a glass panel on the side door. The trunk door features a carved floral motif in the centre, complemented by applied mouldings framing the door panels, a flat base, and metal hinges visible on the side of the hood. Visible signs of age include surface wear and natural grain variations in the wood. Suitable for placement in a hallway, living room, or study, this traditional timepiece functions as both a decorative floor-standing clock and a working timekeeper. The eight-day Westminster chiming movement operates via a German spring mechanism by Peerless, with sound issuing through the case. Operating instructions involve winding the springs and setting the time as required for regular household use.

FAQs

A grandmother clock is a smaller, slimmer variation of the traditional grandfather longcase clock, typically standing under six feet in height while retaining similar mechanical pendulum movements and pendulum cases.

Traditional longcase clocks feature cases crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, paired with brass or steel movement plates, spandrels, and etched dials.

Authentic longcase clocks often showcase cast brass spandrels, hand-engraved dial plates, proper joinery on the wooden case, and period-accurate weight or spring-driven mechanical pendulum movements.

A longcase clock can serve as a focal architectural piece in a hallway, stair landing, or living room, anchoring contemporary decor with historical wood tones and functional horology.

Keep the wooden case away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply natural beeswax periodically, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
