Base 44cm wide and 27.5cm deep

Please contact Robert via email or on 07899 058752 to discuss, arrange viewing/collection. Please supply your postcode or town if you wish delivery/setup. In most cases this would be done by ourselves, with a £65-£145 charge to cover transport costs. If not possible then we can organise a suitable courier at similar costs.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Developed in the mid-seventeenth century following the invention of the anchor escapement, the longcase clock allowed long pendulums to swing within a narrow wooden enclosure. This innovation significantly increased timekeeping accuracy and transformed domestic clocks into prominent items of furniture throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Cases were typically constructed from woods such as oak, pine, walnut, or mahogany, often finished with graining, paint, or fine veneers. Clock dials during this period were commonly crafted from cast brass with applied silvered chapter rings or painted iron plates.

Authentic period longcase clocks feature hand-cut brass gears, iron weights, period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, and genuine surface wear consistent with age. Matching signatures on the dial and movement alongside original casing proportions help confirm provenance.

A longcase clock creates a focal point when placed in an entryway, hallway, or stair landing, balancing modern minimalist lines with historic texture. Positioning the piece against a neutral wall allows its warm timber tones and metalwork details to stand out.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage and finish deterioration. Clean the wooden casing periodically using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax paste to protect the original finish.
