Condition / Servicing Note:

Please note that antique clocks are complex and sensitive mechanical objects. While some clocks may be running at the time of listing we cannot guarantee ongoing performance without a full inspection and testing period by our specialist horologist. Where inspection, testing, or servicing is required this process can take between 2–12 weeks depending on the clock, the work needed, and current workload. This careful approach helps ensure the clock is properly assessed rather than rushed.

Clock Warranty

All clocks purchased from London City Antiques are supplied with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.

This warranty covers mechanical faults and failures arising from normal use. It does not extend to damage resulting from improper handling, unauthorised tampering, accidental or physical damage, environmental factors (including humidity, temperature fluctuations, or exposure to direct sunlight), or misuse.

Should a clock develop a genuine fault within the warranty period that meets the above conditions, we will, at our discretion and at no cost to you, arrange for the repair or replacement of any defective parts. All remedial work will be carried out by a fully qualified and experienced horologist.

In the unlikely event that a fault cannot be satisfactorily resolved, a full refund will be offered.

A George III longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven pendulum clock crafted in Britain between 1760 and 1820. These timepieces are characterised by solid timber cases, often oak or mahogany, housing mechanical movements with brass or silvered dials.

Georgian longcase clocks were predominantly constructed from native hard woods such as oak, walnut, and mahogany, frequently utilizing decorative veneers like burr oak or flame mahogany. The clockwork mechanisms consist of brass wheels and steel arbors, accompanied by cast brass dials or silvered brass chapter rings.

Authentic 18th-century longcase clocks exhibit hand-cut cast brass gears, hand-engraved brass dials with cast corner spandrels, and joinery techniques consistent with the period, such as hand-cut dovetails and pegged mortise-and-tenon joints.

An antique longcase clock acts as a dramatic architectural focal point when positioned in an entryway, hallway, or formal dining room. Pairing dark oak timber against neutral wall palettes or modern panelling creates balanced visual contrast between historic and contemporary elements.

Longcase clocks require placement on a level, stable floor away from direct heat sources and high humidity to protect the wooden casing. The mechanical movement should be wound routinely using the correct key, and professional servicing by a horologist is recommended every five to seven years.
