For Sale by Cross Antiques

Description

A handsome Longcase clock dating from the late 18th Cent by the London maker John Beard.

The case is in beautiful figured mahogany that is a wonderful colour and has retained its original finish. The long moulded door has its original lock and a working key. It has a paneled base and double plinth.

The good quality 8 day, five pillar movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with a silvered chapter ring, large subsidiary seconds dial and a date window. It also has the all important strike/silent selector to the arch. It comes with its original brass cased weights and brass pendulum

The case is in excellent condition but being over 200 years old does have the inevitable odd minor mark and veneer chip. The trunk door is bowed somewhat but closes and locks ok. The height below excludes the centre final.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

Free local delivery and setup (60mls). National and international delivery arranged at cost.

A longcase clock, commonly referred to as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing, weight-driven clock that gained widespread prominence in Britain during the 18th century.

Cabinetmakers crafted the outer cases using fine timbers such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, whilst clockmakers fabricated the internal movements, dials, and decorative spandrels from brass and iron.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved brass dials, cast corner spandrels, hand-jointed cabinetry with natural age-related patina, and weight-driven mechanical movements.

Positioning a longcase clock in an entrance hall, dining room, or study creates a strong architectural focal point that anchors both traditional and contemporary design schemes.

The wooden case should be kept away from direct sunlight and radiators, polished periodically with beeswax, while the mechanical movement requires regular servicing by a qualified horologist.
