Longcase clock

Clockmaker: Nathaniel Brown

Not on view

Longcase clocks continued to be made in the provinces, particularly in the North of England, after this type had been generally discontinued by London clockmakers, who favored hanging clocks, then a new type of timepiece. Few London-made clock cases of this type or any period display such rich carving, including Gothic tracery.
