This Georgian longcase clock is constructed from dark brown honey oak. The standing timekeeper measures 204 cm high, 47 cm wide, and 26 cm deep. The case incorporates a swan-neck pediment with scrolled finials at the top, supported by turned columns framing the dial. Below, the long trunk features a central arched door fitted with a keyhole escutcheon, leading down to a stepped rectangular base. The square dial displays a duck egg blue painted ground with gilt Roman numerals and apple and pear harvest motifs in the corners, signed by Lawrence Irthingborough. Suitable for placement in a hallway, living room, or study, this traditional timepiece brings authentic English country house character to domestic interiors. The 30-hour mechanism includes a date aperture and arrives serviced and tested for working order. The timber shows visible natural grain patterns and warm honey tones across the flat surfaces. The glass-fronted hood protects the painted face, while the moulded cornices and plinth provide architectural definition to the vertical silhouette.

FAQs

A Georgian longcase clock dates from the period between 1714 and 1830. These timepieces typically feature proportioned wooden cases made from oak, mahogany, or walnut, housing weight-driven pendulum clockwork mechanisms.

The exterior cases were commonly built using solid oak or mahogany, often with crossbanded veneers. Dials were made from painted sheet iron or brass, accompanied by cast iron weights and steel pendulum rods.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-painted dial artwork, hand-hammered iron components, and natural surface patination around working touchpoints.

A longcase clock functions as a structural focal point in an entryway, hallway, or living room, offering visual height and architectural interest that contrasts well with contemporary furnishings.

Keep the clock positioned on a level floor away from direct sunlight, radiators, and draughts. The movement should be professionally serviced and lubricated by a horologist every five to seven years.
