Late 18th century mahogany cased Scottish longcase clock by JOHN TULLOH of FORRES. Typical late 18th century Scottish slim case with long door. The case is Cuban mahogany with boxwood line stringing and reeded quarter columns. The hood with swan neck top with original brass patera. The clock has a later Victorian shaped plinth which doesn't look out of place at all.

The movement is 8 day striking on a bell at the hour and the date works. The simple early painted dial is beautifully done and very stylish. The clock has been fully serviced. Just a really nice elegant, slim Scottish longcase.

An 18th-century Scottish longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, features a tall wooden cabinet enclosing a weight-driven pendulum movement, typically topped with a swan-neck pediment and a hand-painted dial.

Georgian longcase clocks were primarily constructed using mahogany or oak veneers over pine carcases, featuring brass movement components, cast lead weights, and painted iron or brass dials.

Authentic 18th-century longcase clocks display period-correct hand joinery, original weight-driven mechanical movements, authentic painted or engraved dial signatures, and uniform wood oxidation within the trunk.

A longcase clock serves as a focal architectural piece when positioned in a neutral hallway, study, or dining space, bringing deep timber tones and structured historical interest to modern decor.

Keep the timber cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly, and have the mechanical movement lubricated by a horologist every five to seven years.
