Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors has dated this Mahogany Moon Phase Longcase Clock to the 19th Century.
Its architectural hood is crowned by an elegant swan-neck pediment centred by a raised finial, while turned columns frame the dial. Further columns flank the trunk door, which displays particularly attractive flame mahogany figuring and restrained inlaid detailing.
The painted dial is the defining feature of the clock. Bold Roman numerals surround a richly illustrated centre depicting a classical royal scene, complemented by a subsidiary seconds dial and twin winding apertures. The corners are decorated with colourful figures and animals, while the arched upper section incorporates a dramatic lunar display with coastal buildings, a sailing vessel and celestial imagery.
The substantial lower case is enriched with book-matched mahogany veneers and crossbanded detail, giving the clock excellent visual presence without appearing excessively ornate.
Longcase clocks combining a signed provincial dial, decorative moon phase and well-figured mahogany case remain highly desirable among collectors. This example offers both genuine horological interest and considerable decorative impact, making it suitable for an entrance hall, drawing room, library or period interior.
Dimensions: Height 244 cm × Width 74 cm × Depth 24 cm.
