18th Century Painted Portuguese Longcase Clock

18th century
For Sale by Pappilon
Description

An 18th Century Portuguese painted chestnut longcase clock with hand-carved decorations. A very striking design featuring its original paint of vivid pastel-like colors.

The eight-day birdcage movement striking on a bell, with an arched enameled clock face finished with a brass dial and Roman numerals.

The clock face is Inscribed 'Jeremie Girod' 'Porto é Coruna'. The arch is repoussé decorated with exotic birds while the cherrywood case is detailed with a carved urn of flowers and leaves above a mask with original glass eyes and mouth.

While we cannot guarantee that the clock will keep time we have found that it does so on our premises. It would be advised that as with any clock after moving it, the movement is professionally installed and serviced when placed into situ.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

These clocks are free-standing, weight-driven pendulum timepieces characterised by tall wooden cases decorated with polychrome paint finishes, often reflecting regional folk traditions and provincial craftsmanship of the period.

Cases were typically constructed from regional softwoods such as pine, decorated using hand-mixed pigments, and fitted with brass dial plates, iron hands, and mechanical pendulum clockworks.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved relief details, pegged timber joinery, natural age-related craquelure on the painted surfaces, and hand-forged clockwork components rather than modern machine-cast parts.

Position the clock as an architectural focal point in a hallway, dining area, or living room, balancing its polychrome finish against neutral wall tones and minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Keep the clock in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity changes, dusting the painted timber gently with a dry microfibre cloth without applying liquid solvents or abrasive polishes.
