P A Oxley Antique Clocks & Barometers has dated this Scottish Mahogany Longcase Clock to the Georgian era.
Featuring an eight day duration 5 pillar London quality movement and striking the hours on a bell. The full brass dial has a matted centre showing seconds, date and blued steel hands. The makers name Hugh Gordon, Aberdeen is engraved on a silver brass cartouche in the arch. Also with a silvered brass chapter ring and brass spandrels to the corners and arch.
The typical Aberdeen cabinetwork has the unusual feature of a bookmatched veneered door. This has created a quite exquisite and attractive design. The plain base stands on solid mahogany ogee feet. The broken arch top to the hood has a well carved acanthus leaf to the centre. A very popular design feature on Aberdeen longcase clocks.
C.1775
An excellent example of Aberdeen Clockmaking
