A Burr Walnut Longcase Clock is a tall freestanding clock housed within an elegant case veneered in richly figured burr walnut. Particularly popular during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, these clocks often feature hooded tops, long trunk doors, brass dial faces and finely engineered weight-driven movements. The striking grain of burr walnut, combined with exceptional cabinetmaking and clockmaking, makes these among the most desirable antique longcase clocks.
