18th Cent Mahogany Longcase Grandfather Clock

18th century
For Sale by Cross Antiques
Description

A handsome Longcase clock dating from the late 18th Cent by the London maker John Beard.

The case is in beautiful figured mahogany that is a wonderful colour and has retained its original finish. The long moulded door has its original lock and a working key. It has a paneled base and double plinth.

The good quality 8 day, five pillar movement strikes the hours on a bell. It has a smart brass dial with a silvered chapter ring, large subsidiary seconds dial and a date window. It also has the all important strike/silent selector to the arch. It comes with its original brass cased weights and brass pendulum

The case is in excellent condition but being over 200 years old does have the inevitable odd minor mark and veneer chip. The trunk door is bowed somewhat but closes and locks ok. The height below excludes the centre final.

The movement is in good working order and keeping good time.

Free local delivery and setup (30mls). National and international delivery arranged at cost.

FAQs

An 18th-century longcase clock, or grandfather clock, is a weight-driven pendulum timepiece encased in a tall wooden cabinet. During this era, cases were predominantly constructed from mahogany or walnut, featuring brass dials, silvered chapter rings, and intricate spandrels.

Georgian makers primarily utilised solid oak for the internal carcass, veneered with rich flame mahogany or walnut. Clock movements were fabricated from cast brass plates and steel arbors, accompanied by engraved brass and silvered dials.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, original weight-driven movements, and cast brass spandrels attached to the dial corners. Look for historical wear on the movement plates, hand-engraved chapter rings, and age-appropriate patination on the timber case.

A longcase clock serves as a strong architectural anchor in a hallway, entryway, or formal reception room. Combining the deep mahogany timber with contemporary neutral backwalls creates a sophisticated juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the timber casing away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading. Wax the wood periodically with beeswax, ensure the cabinet sits completely level, and have the internal movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
