18th Cent Walnut Longcase Grandfather Clock

18th century
Description

A lovely early 18th Cent Longcase clock by John Bronson, Martham.

The case is in nicely figured walnut with chevron banding. As would be expected for this period all the moulding are cross grain. The long door has a working lock and key.

The 8 day movement strikes the hours on a bell and has a smart brass dial with silvered chapter ring and gilt spandrels. It also has a subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and a date indicator.

The case is has been restored so is now in good condition. However it is now around 300 years old and shows some signs of shrinkage and wear.

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

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

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, free-standing, weight-driven clock encased in wood, developed in the late 17th century and refined throughout the 18th century.

These clocks typically feature cases crafted from solid oak or pine veneered with figured or burr walnut, alongside brass dials, spandrels, and iron weight-driven mechanical movements.

Authentic 18th-century examples often display hand-engraved brass or silvered dials, cast corner spandrels, hand-cut dovetail joints, and characteristic natural wear or patination on the movement and wood casing.

Place the clock as a focal point in a hallway, dining room, or stairwell landing, allowing its vertical silhouette and warm timber tones to ground neutral or modern design schemes.

Keep the clock in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and radiators, apply microcrystalline wax occasionally to protect the walnut veneer, and have the internal mechanism serviced regularly by a professional horologist.
