Description

Fabulous Scottish mahogany longcase clock crafted by George Lumsden of Pittenween in excellent antique condition. The eight-day movement is housed in a stunning hood featuring a swan neck pediment with a central brass finial topped by an eagle. Flanking the arched glass door are elegant barley twist columns, enhancing the clock's timeless charm. The beautifully painted cream-colored 12'' dial features black Roman numerals, accompanied by two subsidiary dials for seconds and the date. A captivating feature is the moving ship in the centre of the arch, complemented by brightly painted spandrels that depict ships and castles. The case boasts a bowfront door framed by half barley twist columns and showcases exceptional flame mahogany veneers. The base is finished with a striking flame mahogany panel and stands proudly on bracket feet. While minor imperfections are to be expected with antiques, the clock’s remarkable presence, warm tones, and rich patina make it a true standout. This is an extraordinary antique clock that embodies both beauty and craftsmanship, making it a perfect statement piece.

George Lumsden Jr of Pittenween is known for crafting longcase clocks during the 19th century.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
