This early 20th century English longcase clock by Enfield stands 191.5 cm high, 42.5 cm wide, and 29 cm deep. The warm brown oak case has an arched bonnet enclosing a silvered brass dial with a Tempus Fugit boss, Roman numerals, and ornate black hands, alongside a visible chime silent lever. A glazed trunk door reveals three brass weights suspended on chains and a central pendulum swinging above the visible interior. The base displays a decorative herringbone pattern in the timber, and the entire structure is raised on turned bun feet. Inside the home today, this floor-standing timepiece provides a functional horological display and a traditional decorative accent for a hallway, study, or living room.

FAQs

Developed in the late 17th century following the invention of the pendulum control mechanism by Christiaan Huygens, longcase clockscommonly referred to as grandfather clockswere engineered to house tall pendulums and heavy drop-weights within protective wooden cases.

Cases were traditionally constructed from native hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, while the internal clockwork mechanism comprises cast brass wheels, steel pinions, and lead or brass-cased weights suspended by wire or cord.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cast brass dial spandrels, engraved or silvered chapter rings, weight-driven pendulum movements, and maker marks stamped on the backplate or printed directly on the dial.

A longcase clock serves as an architectural anchor when positioned in an entrance hall, stair landing, or alcove, providing historical texture alongside contemporary furniture or traditional woodwork.

The clock must be set level on a stable floor surface, wound regularly using the appropriate crank key, and have its movement professionally cleaned and oiled every five to seven years to prevent wear on the gear pivots.
