Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, emerged in the late 17th century following the invention of the anchor escapement by Robert Hooke around 1670, which allowed for longer pendulums and narrower cases.

Traditional longcase clocks were primarily constructed from native timbers such as oak, walnut, mahogany, and marquetry veneers, housing brass movements with iron wheels and weights.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the integration of the movement to the dial, the wear patterns on the pivots and plates, hand-cut brass gears, and the construction methods of the wooden case including dovetailing and timber ageing.

A longcase clock serves as a striking focal point in a hallway or living room, grounding contemporary minimalist spaces with traditional craftsmanship, rich timber tones, and vertical height.

Preservation requires placing the clock away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and damp areas, whilst ensuring professional servicing every three to five years to maintain the mechanical movement.
