This Georgian longcase clock is constructed from honey oak and mahogany, presenting a warm brown timber finish with visible natural grain figures and signs of age. The architectural hood incorporates a swan-neck pediment with brass patera ornaments, turned mahogany columns, and glass enclosing a painted arched dial decorated with gilt floral motifs, gilt swags, painted spandrels, subsidiary dials, and the signature John Peatt of Crieff. Below, the long trunk features an arched door fitted with a brass keyhole escutcheon, a hanging blue paper tag, and a lock, standing on a stepped plinth base with bracket feet. The clock stands 201 cm high, 48 cm wide, and 24.5 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a hallway, living room, or study, this traditional timepiece brings classic proportions and vertical presence to interior spaces. The dial configuration includes a main chapter ring with Roman numerals and two subsidiary dials. The mechanical eight-day bell-hour striking movement operates within the upright wooden case.

FAQs

Mechanical movements require periodic windingtypically every eight daysand professional cleaning and re-oiling every five to seven years. The wooden cabinet should be positioned away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to protect the timber from drying and warping.

A longcase clock can serve as an architectural focal point in hallways, stairwell landings, or dining rooms. Positioning the piece against a neutral backdrop balances historical craftsmanship with modern, minimalist aesthetics.

Authentic period longcase clocks feature hand-cut gears, hand-filed steel arbors, and period-appropriate cabinet construction such as hand-dovetailed joints and original weight pulley systems. Dials often showcase hand-painted spandrels, engraved signatures, or cast brass corner embellishments.

Cases were typically constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, often enhanced with veneers, crossbanding, or inlaid woods. The internal clockwork mechanisms were engineered from cast brass and wrought iron, housed behind protective glass hoods.

Georgian longcase clocks were produced during the reigns of King George I through George IV (17141830). Characterised by elegant proportions, handcrafted wooden cases, and brass or painted sheet metal dials, these weight-driven pendulum clocks were designed to offer reliable timekeeping alongside architectural sophistication.
