Exceptional early 19th‑century Scottish longcase clock in richly figured mahogany, signed Jn Adamson, Anstruther, a recorded East Neuk maker listed in Clockmakers & Watchmakers of Scotland. The clock presents beautifully, with a well‑proportioned mahogany case displaying deep graining and a warm, rich colouring. The hood is crowned with carved cresting and turned finials, framing an elegant silvered dial with Roman numerals, subsidiary seconds, and a date aperture. The hands are finely pierced and typical of the period. Importantly, it is fitted with a dead‑beat escapement , this type of escapement is most often associated with higher‑quality longcase clocks and favoured by better 19th‑century clockmakers. The movement has been fully overhauled and serviced, and the clock is in excellent working order. A very attractive and well‑made East Neuk example, combining fine casework, a clean and readable dial, and a technically superior movement.
