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.

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.

This nineteenth-century Chippendale revival grandmother clock is made of mahogany, brass, and glass in a rich mahogany brown colour. The tall, slender case measures 163 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 21.5 cm deep, standing on ogee bracket feet with brickwork corners. The top incorporates carved finials, a swan neck pediment, and a glazed arched door flanked by reeded pilasters, above a carved blind fretwork frieze and drop carvings. A figured mahogany door sits below, flanked by reeded quarter pilasters, leading down to a figured mahogany base. Inside the glazed upper door, the brass arched dial features the inscription Tempus Fugit, spandrels in the corners, and a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and an outer Arabic minute track. The eight-day movement strikes Westminster chimes on the quarter hours. Suitable for placement in a hallway, living room, or study, this traditional timepiece adds classic English country house character to domestic interiors.

Chippendale style longcase clocks are defined by mid-to-late eighteenth-century design influences, featuring swan neck pediments, carved blind fretwork, fluted quarter columns, and solid mahogany construction.

These slender floor-standing clocks were crafted using hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for the casing, alongside cast brass dials, steel hands, and pendulum-driven mechanical movements.

Traditional period dials feature brass construction with applied cast brass corner spandrels, silvered chapter rings with Roman numerals, etched central fields, and an arch boss displaying mottos such as Tempus Fugit.

A classic floor clock functions as an architectural focal point when positioned in an entryway, staircase landing, or alcove, providing wood grain texture alongside contemporary decorative elements.

Position the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly, and have the internal mechanism lubricated by a horologist every five years.
