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

Originating in late 17th-century England, William and Mary longcase clocks feature tall timber cabinets decorated with elaborate marquetry inlays, often depicting floral motifs, bird figures, or arabesques using contrasting hardwoods, bone, or ivory.

The cases were typically constructed from oak carcasses veneered with walnut, olivewood, or fruitwood marquetry. The internal clockworks were forged from brass and iron, featuring hand-engraved brass dials with silvered chapter rings.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-cut brass gears, iron weights, correct period spandrel designs on the dial, and natural age-related patination or minor shrinkage in the timber veneer.

Position the clock against a neutral or dark backdrop in an entryway, hallway, or living space to let the intricate wood grain and marquetry serve as a architectural statement piece.

Keep the clock in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping or veneer lifting. The movement should be cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
