ANTIQUE ENGLISH ARTS & CRAFTS 8 DAY LONGCASE GRANDFATER CLOCK BY MAPLE LONDON

Antiques of London

A fine late Victorian 8-day longcase (grandfather) clock , retailed by Maple & Co London , dating from around 1890 and crafted in the Arts & Crafts style.

This elegant clock features a beautifully proportioned oak case with geometric panelling , decorative mouldings, and subtle carved details characteristic of the Arts & Crafts movement. The brass dial is richly engraved and signed Maple London , with Roman numerals , ornate pierced hands, and a subsidiary seconds dial. The clock retains its original 8-day weight-driven movement, designed to strike on the hour.

Inside the case are service notes documenting its care over the years — including professional servicing in 2006 and again in 2017 (costing £700) — confirming its ongoing maintenance and reliability. Everything appears to be in good working order, and a fresh service can be arranged prior to dispatch for a small additional fee.

Maple & Co. , established in 1841 on Tottenham Court Road, London, became one of the world's leading furnishing houses by the late 19th century, known for exceptional craftsmanship and refined design. Their pieces graced royal residences and stately homes worldwide, and their clocks remain highly collectable examples of British quality and style.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Sea freight delivery can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
