A Fine London Longcase Clock by William Allam

18th century
Description

A fine London longcase clock by this well known and famous Clockmaker.

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 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, canted corners to the hood and a broken arch top. The base has a raised panel and a double plinth.

William Allam appears to have had some influence from several famous Clockmakers during the 18th century such as Mudge, Dutton and also Vulliamy.

Allam was Free of the Clockmakers Company in 1743. Working alone at the beginning of his career he then joined in partnership with Clements in 1763 and worked until the late 18th century.

A highly desirable longcase clock.

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

This Georgian longcase clock exhibits dark brown flame mahogany veneers across its tall wooden trunk, arched hood, and plinth base. The dark timber construction contrasts with the pale silvered brass dial, which shows Roman and Arabic numerals alongside blued steel hands. Further details include canted corners to the hood, a broken arch top, and a raised panel on the base. Appropriate for a traditional study or hallway, the standing timepiece occupies a floor footprint measuring 50 cm wide by 25 cm deep and stands 210 cm high. The longcase clock operates with an eight-day movement involving five plate pillars that strike the hour on a single bell.

FAQs

A Georgian longcase clock is an 18th-century floor-standing timepiece featuring a pendulum and weight-driven mechanical movement enclosed in a tall timber cabinet.

These clocks were typically constructed using a primary timber casing of mahogany, walnut, or oak, alongside engraved brass or silvered dial plates and steel movement components.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved maker signatures on the dial face, correct hand-cut joinery within the timber trunk, and era-appropriate mechanical movement gearing.

Position the timepiece as an architectural focal point within an entrance hall, corridor, or study, pairing the dark polished timber against light neutral walls.

Keep the casing away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply high-grade beeswax sparingly to the wood, and arrange for professional horological movement servicing every five to seven years.
