MaterialMahogany, Brass, Glass
ColourRich Brown
MotifsSwan-neck pediment, brass finials, arched brass dial, turned hood columns
SizeH 219 cm (86 in)

This 18th-century Georgian longcase clock is constructed from solid mahogany with a rich brown finish and stands 219 cm high. The tall, slender wooden case holds an 8-inch arched brass dial with ornate spandrels, matting, a fine blued steel hand, and a glass face. The swan-neck pediment carries three ball-and-spire brass finials, complemented by turned hood columns at the sides, a brass keyhole escutcheon with a blue tassel hanging from the key, and bracket feet. Positioned on the floor in a study, library, hallway, or living room, the timepiece operates via a weight and rope driven mechanism with a side-mounted alarm. The surfaces show the natural grain of the timber, and the construction incorporates traditional mouldings and joinery appropriate to the period.

FAQs

A Georgian longcase clock is a tall, weight-driven freestanding timepiece manufactured during the reign of the Hanoverian monarchs in Britain, typically characterised by a proportioned timber housing and a brass dial movement.

These clocks were predominantly constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, oak, or walnut, housing brass clockworks, cast brass spandrels, steel hands, and lead drive weights.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the construction techniques, such as hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass spandrels, hand-engraved dial plates, and maker marks signatures on the clock face.

A longcase clock serves as a structural focal point in entryways, stairwells, or dining rooms, providing a architectural anchor when contrasted against neutral contemporary walls.

The mechanical movement requires regular lubrication by a professional horologist every five to seven years, while the mahogany case should be kept level and preserved with natural beeswax paste.
