Painted Long Case Clock

18th century
For Sale by Hedley Wilson
Description

A late eighteenth century painted long case clock, with an unusually small break arch movement

The case, as was quite usual with some provincial clocks, is painted in a dark red. Dark colours were favoured, as less likely to show the effects of candle and fire smoke.

The single sheet silvered brass dial is unsigned, and has a subsidiary seconds dial. It has a timepiece movement, so does not strike the hours.

A particularly elegant and small clock, standing only 7' 6" high

c. 1800

This Georgian long case clock is constructed from wood with a deep red painted finish, paired with a single sheet silvered brass dial and glass. The tall case stands on a rectangular base, featuring a moulded pediment, an arched dial, gilded column capitals flanking the dial, a long door with a brass keyhole escutcheon, and Roman numerals on the face alongside a subsidiary seconds dial. Measuring 200 cm high, 35 cm wide and 25 cm deep, the timepiece movement does not strike the hours. Positioned on a floor against a vertical surface in a home today, this tall horological piece functions as a decorative floor-standing clock. The dark red painted surface displays natural wear from age and domestic smoke exposure. The unsigned dial includes decorative chapter rings and hands, whilst the bonnet incorporates architectural arch mouldings and classical columns with gold-toned details at the top and bottom.

FAQs

A longcase clock, also commonly referred to as a tall-case or grandfather clock, is a free-standing, weight-driven pendulum clock housed inside a tall wooden casing that originated in the mid-17th century.

The exterior casings were primarily constructed from solid timbers like oak, pine, or mahoganyfrequently finished with varnish, paint, or veneerwhile internal clockwork mechanisms were precision-crafted from brass and iron.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut brass movement gears, hand-engraved or painted dials, cast brass spandrels, and original wear patterns on the casing consistent with historical age.

A longcase clock serves as a focal architectural accent when placed in an entry hall, stairwell landing, or formal dining space, providing strong vertical balance alongside contemporary furnishings.

Position the clock away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood movement or paint flaking, dust the casing gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
