For Sale by Clockwise

Description

This is a fine example of a Northern longcase clock being of the taller and wider style. The newly restored dial looks amazing and benefits from a subsidiary seconds dial and date dial too, both working and complimented by the original hands. The warm flame mahogany case stands an impressive 7ft 8 inches tall and 25 1/2 inches wide with a lovely patina and is in excellent condition with the turned pillars to the hood framing the dial beautifully. The eight day rack striking movement has benefitted from a complete restoration and new lines with the bell having a lovely mellow tone. Little is known of this maker - Paul Greenwood, Halifax - but the clock dates from circa 1840 and comes with a one year guarantee with regional delivery available.

This clock is heavily reduced in price to make way for new stock arrivals

A longcase clock, commonly known as a grandfather clock, is a tall, weight-driven pendulum clock housed in a freestanding wooden case. Popularised in the late 17th century, these timepieces became standard fixtures in 18th and 19th-century European households due to their mechanical precision and decorative presence.

Cabinetmakers primarily constructed longcase clock cabinets from native hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, frequently accented with flame veneers. The dial faces were crafted from painted iron or brass, while the internal movements comprised brass gearing, steel arbors, and heavy cast iron or lead weights.

Authentic Victorian examples often feature hand-painted iron dials depicting landscapes or rustic scenes, brass winding arbors, and solid wood cases with traditional joinery like dovetails. Look for original maker signatures on the dial face, hand-cut clockwork gearing, and age-consistent surface patination across the timber.

Position a tall clock as an architectural focal point in an entry hallway, stairwell, or dining space to add historical depth and vertical structure. Pairing dark mahogany timber against muted, neutral wall colours creates a refined contrast that balances traditional horology with contemporary styling.

Keep the clock in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources and bright sunlight to prevent wood movement and veneer cracking. The internal mechanical movement should be professionally cleaned, lubricated, and calibrated by a horologist every five to seven years.
