A Fine London Mahogany Longcase Clock – Samuel Fish – London

18th century
Description

An elegant and attractive London pagoda top longcase clock. The fine quality mahogany case has well chosen flame veneers to the trunk door and to the base panel, both surmounted by strong mahogany mouldings. The trunk has canted corners with brass inlaid and capped reeded columns with a double footed plinth. There are three brass finials to the sides and centre. The pagoda hood has brass reeded and capped columns at the front and brass capped columns at the rear with a glass aperture at the side for viewing the movement.

The brass dial has nicely cast spandrels and well matted centre with a date aperture above 6 o’clock, a signature plaque signed “Samuel Fish, London” and a recessed seconds dial. Above 12 o’clock there is a strike/silent subsidiary dial. There are again well cast spandrels to the sides of the arch.

The eight day five knopped pillar movement is of fine quality with nicely shaped steel work. It strikes the hours on a large bell mounted above the movement. The clock has a brass pendulum bob and two brass cased weights, although one of them has lost most of its brass casting.

Serviced and guaranteed for 3 years.

Height: 105? or 267cm

CIRCA. 1770

Provenance: Private collection - U.K.

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.

Georgian longcase clocks are freestanding, weight-driven pendulum timepieces produced during the 18th and early 19th centuries. They typically feature fine hardwood cabinetry, often mahogany or walnut, paired with complex brass movements and silvered dials with brass spandrels.

The exterior cases were commonly constructed from solid oak or pine, veneered with rich mahogany, flame mahogany, or walnut. Internal clockworks were cast in brass and steel, while dials often incorporated brass spandrels and silvered chapter rings.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-cast brass gearwork, and hand-engraved dials. The signature of the maker is typically engraved on the central dial plate or silvered chapter ring, alongside period-appropriate weight and pendulum systems.

A tallcase clock serves as a strong architectural focal point in an entryway, formal dining room, or hallway. Positioning the dark wood against light or neutral wall finishes highlights its silhouette and cabinet grain, blending classical horology with contemporary minimalist spaces.

Keep the clock level and stable to ensure consistent pendulum swing, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or damp drafts. Wind the weights regularly according to the movement specification and arrange professional horological cleaning and lubrication every five to seven years.
