This 18th century Georgian longcase clock uses warm brown walnut with crossbanded inlay, glass over the dial, and brass for the engraved face, decorative spandrels, keyhole escutcheon, and two spherical finials atop the arched hood. The tall wooden case stands 212 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 29 cm deep, containing an eight-day movement with Roman numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial, and a calendar aperture. Placement suits a traditional hallway, study, or living room where the vertical presence fills a corner or empty wall space. The standing timepiece functions as a central decorative anchor while keeping accurate time through a pendulum and weight-driven mechanism behind the trunk door.

FAQs

Longcase clocks, frequently referred to as grandfather clocks, feature a tall wooden cabinet designed to enclose a weight-driven pendulum movement perfected during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Cabinetmakers utilised native and imported hardwoods such as walnut, oak, and mahogany, while horologists crafted the internal mechanisms and decorative dials from brass, steel, and iron.

Authentic period examples display hand-engraved brass or silvered dials, cast corner spandrels, hand-cut gear teeth, and historical patina along the timber joints and case interior.

Positioning a tallcase clock in a hallway, reception room, or library creates a vertical anchor, balancing modern architecture with historical timber textures and craftsmanship.

The wooden case requires controlled humidity and periodic application of beeswax, while the mechanical clockwork should be cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
