An 18th Century Oak Cased Longcase Clock, Signed John Wylde, Nottingham C 1740-50

18th century
For Sale by Buckingham Interiors (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

An 18th century oak cased longcase clock, the eleven inch brass dial, signed John Wylde, Nottingham, having a thirty hour movement.

John Wyld was born in 1709 and worked first for his uncle the locally renowned clockmaker James Woolley of Codnor, Derbyshire (c1700-c1780). Wyld worked independently from 1732, first at Codnor before moving to Chapel Bar, Nottingham in 1745. The case of the present clock is similar to a number of other known examples and it would appear that both Wyld and Woolley obtained their cases from the same maker. Wyld's son, John Wyld II, continued the business until c1770.

This Georgian longcase clock dates from the eighteenth century. Constructed from oak with a warm brown timber colour, brass, and glass, the case includes a moulded pediment, turned hood columns, and a central circular lenticle aperture on the trunk door. The square brass dial measures eleven inches and is signed John Wylde, Nottingham, housing a thirty hour movement. Measuring 199 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, this tall timepiece stands upright on the floor in a hallway, living room, or study. It functions as a traditional freestanding floor clock to tell the time while adding period character to domestic interior spaces.

FAQs

A longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, pendulum-driven floor clock housed in a wooden cabinet, developed in the late 17th century and refined throughout the 18th century.

Georgian longcase clock cabinets were typically crafted from oak, walnut, or mahogany, with internal movements constructed from cast brass dials, steel arbors, and iron weights.

Authentic 18th-century examples display brass dials with applied spandrels, hand-engraved chapter rings, hand-cut gear teeth, and pegged joinery in the timber casing.

A longcase clock acts as an architectural focal point in an entryway, hallway, or dining area, harmonising with neutral wall shades and contrasting against contemporary furniture.

Position the clock on a stable, level floor away from direct heat sources, keep the weights properly wound, and have the mechanical movement lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
