Description

A very handsome Geo III Longcase clock. It is by John Taylor of Manchester. He is listed as working there from 1745 to 1781.

The case is in mahogany and is typical of the region. An unusual feature is the faux brickwork to the base.

It has a good quality 8 day movement with a very smart brass dial. It has a silvered chapter ring and gilt brass spendrels, a subsidiary seconds dial and date window. To the arch it displays the phases of the moon. An unusual feature is that it strikes the hours on a coiled gong. This may be a Victorian conversion.

The case has seen some restoration over the years and has been repolished. The polish isn't the best job I have seen but this is reflected in the price. Better finished clocks of this type are listed for several thousands of pounds

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

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

Georgian longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, were produced during the reigns of the four King Georges (1714 to 1830) and are characterised by taller wooden cases, often featuring intricate mahogany grain, brass dials, and mechanical weight-driven movements.

These timepieces were typically constructed using solid timber carcases veneered in figured mahogany, oak, or walnut, housing brass clock movements, iron or brass dials, and lead or cast iron driving weights suspended by cords or chains.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-engraved signature of the maker on the dial, the consistency of the timber aging, original fretwork hood details, and whether the movement matches the proportions and period of the case.

A longcase clock serves as a striking vertical focal point in contemporary spaces, often placed in hallways or living areas to introduce traditional craftsmanship, texture, and architectural height to minimalist or transitional schemes.

Preservation involves regular professional servicing of the mechanical movement every few years, keeping the case away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood splitting, and ensuring the clock is correctly levelled on the floor.
