This is a handsome Irish oak cased 8 day longcase clock in excellent order by William Young of Portglenone dating from around 1830.

The clock has just been serviced and runs beautifully for 8 days striking on a bell on the hour every hour. This has an interesting face with a good maritime scene of masted tall ships and a really striking and unusual pair of Asiatic pheasants to the 13-inch painted arch dial. It has Roman numerals and a seconds dial and date aperture with floral decorated corners. The four pillar movement has an anchor escapement with weights pendulum and key.

The case measures 218cm high by wide by deep.

Georgian longcase clocks, created throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries, typically feature native timber cases such as oak or mahogany, swan-neck or pagoda pediments, and hand-painted or brass dials displaying regional craftsmanship.

The exterior cases were predominantly constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, often enhanced with crossbanded veneers, while the internal mechanisms utilised cast brass gears, iron weights, and steel wire.

Authentic examples display evidence of period hand-tooling, original weight-driven movement components, appropriate patination on the timber case, and hand-painted or engraved maker signatures on the dial face.

A traditional longcase clock serves as a strong architectural focal point when positioned in a hallway, dining area, or library, contrasting effectively with contemporary minimal walls and simple neutral tones.

The timber case should be kept away from direct heat sources and dressed with natural beeswax, while the mechanical movement requires periodic professional cleaning and horological oiling every five to seven years.
