FAQs

Longcase clocks originated in the late 17th century following the invention of the anchor escapement by Robert Hooke around 1670. This mechanism allowed for longer pendulums and smaller arcs, which necessitated tall, narrow wooden cases to protect the weights and pendulum.

These clocks are traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring veneered panels on a deal or pine carcase. Movements typically comprise brass plates, wheels, and steel arbors, driven by lead or iron weights suspended by cords or chains.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, patination, and construction joints such as dovetailing in the case. The movement should show signs of hand-cutting, wear patterns consistent with age, and a makers signature engraved on the dial plate that matches historical records.

Placing a tall wooden clock in a contemporary space provides an effective anchor for minimalist rooms, contrasting clean lines with historical craftsmanship. Positioning the piece in an entryway or hallway maximises its architectural presence without cluttering living areas.

Keep mechanical clocks away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and damp areas to protect the wood and movement from warping or rust. Professional servicing by a horologist is recommended every three to five years to clean the movement and re-oil the pivots.
