Scottish Grandfather Clock Moonphase Longcase Painted Satinwood 1830

18th century
Description

Exquisite Antique Scottish Mahogany Inlaid Moonphase Longcase Clock (c. 1800–1830)

The clock was made by John Mill Of Montrose in Scotland

Description:

A Masterpiece of Scottish Clockmaking: The Moonphase Longcase

We are delighted to offer this exceptional antique Scottish Longcase Clock (often called a Grandfather Clock), dating from the late Georgian/Early Victorian period (c. 1790–1830). Acquired privately in Elgin, Scotland, this clock is a striking example of a desirable period of Scottish craftsmanship and features highly collectible elements.

Key Features and Detailing:

• Mahogany Case with Decoration: The case is made of satinwood and features extensive hand painted designs and hand-painted oval vignettes on the trunk and base.

• Moonphase Dial: A highly desirable feature, the arched brass dial includes a moving Moonphase disc which tracks the lunar cycle.

• 8-Day Movement: The clock houses a heavy, complete 8-day movement, confirmed to have been working at one point, and is complete with its two heavy cylindrical weights and pendulum.

Condition Note: The case is in excellent antique condition with a deep patina. The movement is complete, but as with all longcase clocks, will require a service and professional commissioning upon delivery to restore it to guaranteed working order. Offered in great shape ready for home use right away

A moonphase longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven floor clock featuring an integrated lunar dial above the clock face. This mechanism tracks the 29.5-day lunar cycle, historically helping owners anticipate moonlight levels for night travel and tidal changes.

During the early 19th century, clock cases were constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and satinwood. Cabinetmakers employed hand-cut dovetail joints, wood veneers, and hand-painted varnish or lacquer decoration, paired with brass movements and iron pendulum weights.

Authentic Regency period longcase clocks display refined proportions, painted dial faces with spandrels, brass movement plates, and original cast finials. Examining hand-cut gear teeth, historical weight assemblies, and original casework joinery helps verify period authenticity.

A tall case clock creates architectural height and interest in hallways, stairwell landings, or reception rooms. Pairing the warm timber tones and detailed paintwork with neutral wall palettes allows the clock to serve as an anchor point within both classical and contemporary schemes.

Dust the satinwood case regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical polishers or solvent-based cleaners that can erode original paintwork; keep the piece away from direct sunlight, dampness, and central heating sources to prevent timber movement.
