For Sale by P A Oxley Antique Clocks & Barometers

Description

A fine London longcase clock by this noted maker.

The movement is of 8 day duration, featuring 5 plate pillars and strikes the hour on a single bell. The bell can also be silenced as required. The silvered brass dial displays seconds, date Roman and Arabic numerals. The time is displayed via matching blued steel hands.

The elegant case design was used by several Clockmakers at this period but most notably by John Holmes. There are also similarities to the case as used by Mudge and Dutton.

The case features some excellently chosen flame mahogany veneers, brass inlaid canted corners to the hood and a broken arch top. The base has a raised panel and a shaped double plinth. There are also original wooden sound frets to each side of the hood.

A very desirable longcase clock.

NOTE: Having only just arrived this clock will require some sympathetic restoration to the case and the the movement will be serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.

Georgian London longcase clocks are characterized by their refined proportions, high-grade mahogany timber, and sophisticated movements crafted by skilled city horologists during the 18th century.

These clocks typically feature cases constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, housing brass mechanical clockwork, steel components, and engraved silvered or brass dials.

Authenticity is verified by checking for maker signatures engraved on the dial, period-correct movement layout, authentic weight-driven mechanisms, and hand-joined cabinetry with historic flame mahogany veneers.

A longcase clock serves as an architectural vertical anchor when placed in an entrance foyer, hallway, or study, providing visual structure alongside contemporary or period furnishings.

The mechanical movement requires professional horological lubrication every few years, while the wooden cabinet should be kept away from direct heat sources and maintained with natural beeswax polish.
