Where should I place my clock?

Position the piece against a solid interior wall away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources like radiators. A stable foundation prevents vibrations that can disrupt the pendulum. Ensure the floor is completely level so the clock beats in proper time and the escapement functions evenly.

How do I tell an 18th century case from a 19th century one?

Examine the proportions of the hood and trunk, as earlier Georgian cases often show simpler, more restrained architectural lines. Wood selection and secondary timbers inside the case also shift across decades. Later Victorian and Edwardian examples frequently incorporate heavier mouldings and more ornate dial treatments compared to their earlier counterparts.

What is the difference between a longcase and a regulator?

While both share a tall floor-standing case, a true regulator prioritizes exceptional timekeeping precision over domestic convenience. They often feature specialised deadbeat escapements and a clear view of the second hand. Standard longcase clocks focus on general household timekeeping and frequently include striking or chiming trains alongside calendar displays.
