Description

Beautiful Well Presented Chinoiserie Design Black Lacquered and Gilt Painted English Grandfather Longcase Clock with Good Clean Painted Dial with A Blue Jay Bird for J Crake of Surlingham.

During the Early 19th Century the Crake Family Produced Several Clockmakers around Loddon (Norwich), Lowestoft & Ipswich areas. I have owned a number of these in the past and they have always been of High Quality.

This includes Brass Covered Lead Weights with this Clock (Photo of Weights to be added before the end of July)

Surlingham is just a few miles away from Loddon Norwich Norfolk and this may have been one of the early Crake family clocks. There are two J Crakes but these date from 1836 and 1858, which would seem too late for the design and construction of the case and size, style of the Painted Dial.

The Elegant 18th Century Case is in Good Sound Construction as is the Black Lacquer & Gilt Decorations.

Height 82in or 208.25cm

The 8 Day Movement has been Checked, Serviced & Fully Tested - Offered in Full & Good Working Order.

Please contact Robert via Messaging or on 07899 058752 to Discuss.

Viewing By Appointment Welcome

Delivery can be Arranged and If this is being Carried out by Robert, then, Set Up will Also be Included (though Set Up Should be Relatively Easy). Typically between £65 and £165. Instructions will be offered if Courier Service has to be Used.

FAQs

Chinoiserie emerged in Europe during the late 17th and 18th centuries as an imaginative European interpretation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, heavily popularised by trade with the East India Company.

These clocks typically feature wooden carcasses built from pine or oak, finished with layers of dark lacquer and embellished with raised gilt decoration known as japanning.

Authentication involves examining the hand-cut brass or iron movement, the construction methods of the wooden case, hand-painted dial details, and the natural ageing of the lacquer finish.

Position the clock against a neutral or moody backdrop in a hallway or reception room to let the intricate gold artwork stand out as a focal point among modern furnishings.

Keep antique lacquered pieces away from direct sunlight and dramatic temperature fluctuations, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth and avoiding chemical polishes.
