An excellent London longcase clock of good colour and proportions.

The high quality 8 day duration 5 pillar movement striking the hours on a bell. The 12" arched brass dial has a separate silvered brass chapter ring, a silvered brass centre, square date aperture and with the makers name and place of work elaborately engraved across the whole centre of the dial.

The dial also displays finely made blued steel hour and minute hands and a seconds hand below the number XII. The arch of the dial is engraved with a strike/silent facility, the corners and arch are surmounted with matching brass spandrels.

The typical London case of excellent proportions features high quality mahogany veneer to both the trunk door and base.

Note: The Highway, formerly known as the Ratcliffe Highway, is a road in the East End of London. The route dates back to Roman times. In the 19th century it had a reputation for vice and crime and was the location of the Ratcliff Highway murders.

A longcase clock, also referred to as a tall-case or grandfather clock, is a free-standing, weight-driven pendulum clock enclosed within a tall timber cabinet, traditionally produced from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries.

Georgian longcase clocks were primarily constructed with mahogany, walnut, or oak cabinets, featuring brass dials, cast spandrels, steel hands, and internal cast iron weights powering the movement.

Authentic London-made longcase clocks typically feature high-grade brass dials engraved with the makers signature and location, refined movement engineering, five-pillar construction, and flame mahogany cases.

Positioning a longcase clock in an entrance hall, dining room, or study creates a focal point, pairing traditional horological craft with clean architectural lines and neutral wall colours.

The clock must remain level on a stable surface away from direct heat sources, while the timber case benefits from periodic waxing with natural beeswax, and the movement requires professional horological servicing every five years.
