FAQs

Longcase clocks, commonly referred to as grandfather clocks, were developed in the mid-seventeenth century following the invention of the pendulum escapement. The tall wooden cabinet was engineered to protect the long pendulum and falling weights required for accurate timekeeping over an eight-day or thirty-hour cycle.

Traditional longcase clocks feature solid wood and veneered cases, predominantly mahogany, oak, walnut, or pine. The mechanical movements are crafted from cast brass and iron, while dials utilize cast brass with spandrels or painted sheet iron.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-cut joinery, period-correct movement constructions, hand-engraved or cast brass dials, and region-specific cabinet detailing such as delicate marquetry or urn inlays common in Regency-era woodwork.

A longcase clock functions as an architectural focal point in entryways, stairwell landings, dining rooms, or home libraries. Pairing the warm mahogany timber with neutral walls highlights the silhouette and craftsmanship without cluttering the surrounding space.

Keep the clock perfectly level on a solid floor to ensure the pendulum swings freely. The mechanical movement should be lubricated and serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years, while the wooden case requires periodic waxing with natural beeswax, away from direct heat sources.
