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.

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.

A George II longcase clock dates from the reign of King George II (17271760). Clocks from this era typically feature figured timbers such as walnut or mahogany, brass dials with cast spandrels, and architectural pediments including swan-neck or pagoda designs.

Georgian clockmakers used dense hardwoods such as red walnut, oak, and imported mahogany for the outer case. Clock movements were crafted from brass and iron, utilizing heavy lead weights to power the movement and pendulum mechanism.

Authentic eighteenth-century clocks feature composite brass dials made of separate cast spandrels riveted to a brass plate, alongside an engraved chapter ring. The timber cases display period-appropriate joinery, hand-planed surfaces, and natural wear consistent with two centuries of age.

A tall longcase clock serves as a strong vertical anchor in traditional entry halls, formal dining rooms, or home libraries. Placing the piece against a neutral backdrop allows the timber grain and brass details to function as a focal architectural element.

Longcase clock movements require professional cleaning and lubrication every five to seven years to prevent wear on the brass bushings. Wooden cases should be kept away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and polished with high-grade beeswax.
