This Georgian eight-day longcase clock by Price Evans of Salop dates from around 1750 and strikes the hours on a bell. The tall case uses oak with mahogany stringing, presenting a dark reddish brown finish with visible wood grain and a polished luster. The upper hood has a swan-neck pediment topped with two round wooden finials above cornice mouldings and columns with gilt capitals framing the glass door. The arched trunk door secures with a key on a brass escutcheon and hangs above a plinth base. The square brass dial includes gilt foliate corner spandrels and a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, alongside a silvered center bearing foliate engraving, winding holes, and subsidiary dials. The complete clock stands at 221 cm in maximum height. Placed in a hallway, living room, or study, this traditional timepiece adds period English country house character to interior spaces while functioning as a working clock.

FAQs

Longcase clocks gained widespread prominence in the 18th century during the Georgian era, reflecting advancements in British horology and cabinetmaking. Makers across regional centres produced weight-driven mechanical movements housed in high-grade timbers such as mahogany and oak.

The exterior cases were predominantly crafted from solid or veneered mahogany, oak, or walnut, while the clock mechanisms featured brass movements, cast brass corner spandrels, silvered chapter rings, and iron weights.

Authentic period examples generally display engraved brass dials with applied corner spandrels, maker signatures from historic clockmaking towns, separate seconds dials, and hand-cast mechanical components rather than stamped modern parts.

A tall floor clock creates a focal point in hallways, entryways, or formal living rooms, offering architectural height and visual balance when paired with contemporary artwork or minimalist furnishings.

Keep the wooden case away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, polish the cabinet with natural beeswax, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
