What is a long case clock?

A long case clock is a tall, free-standing timepiece that uses a swinging pendulum and hanging weights to measure hours. The movement sits inside a protective wooden trunk with a hooded dial at the top. These pieces combine cabinet making with mechanical engineering, serving as prominent furnishings in traditional interiors since the seventeenth century.

How do I wind the clock?

Winding involves using a key or crank to pull the weights back up to the top of the case via internal cords or chains. Thirty-hour clocks require winding daily or slightly past daily, while eight-day movements need attention once a week. Keeping a regular schedule ensures the movement maintains accurate time and keeps the mechanical parts operating smoothly.

Where should I place a long case clock?

These clocks require a stable, level floor and a secure fixing to the wall through the back of the case to prevent tipping. Placing them away from direct heat sources and heavy vibrations protects the wooden structure and the delicate internal movement. Because of their height, hallways, landings, and high-ceilinged reception rooms provide the ideal proportions for housing them.

How do I tell the periods apart?

Early periods like the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries favour smaller proportions, oak or walnut timbers, and square brass dials. Georgian and Regency examples introduce richer mahogany veneers, arched brass faces, and later painted iron dials. Edwardian pieces often feature lighter inlaid decoration and occasional musical movements, showing the evolution of domestic taste over two centuries.
