Description

A most attractive Geo III Longcase clock by Alex Sim of Aberdeen, Scotland. He is listed as working there from 1790 to 1820.

The case is in very nicely figured mahogany with inlaid boxwood details.

The good quality 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a very smart white dial with a well painted sailing ship to the arch. It also has subsidiary seconds and date dials.

The case is in good unrestored condition, has retained its original finish and is a lovely colour. It does have the odd mark and knock associated with age and use.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time. It looks to have recently been serviced.

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

Date of Manufacture

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

FAQs

George III longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, date from the late 18th to early 19th century and are characterised by classical proportions, sophisticated cabinetwork in woods such as mahogany, and often feature brass dials and eight-day movements.

Maintain a stable room temperature away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber cracking, wax the wooden case periodically with traditional beeswax, and have the mechanical movement professionally serviced every few years.

Positioning the clock against a neutral or dark-painted wall in a hallway, living room, or study allows its architectural silhouette and timber grain to serve as a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut brass gears, matching serial numbers on movements and dials where applicable, traditional joinery methods such as dovetailing in the case, and natural ageing or patina on the wood surfaces.

These timepieces were typically constructed using a solid timber frame of oak or pine, veneered with figured mahogany, walnut, or exotic fruitwoods, and incorporated brass dial plates, steel gear wheels, and glass face covers.
