Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Lantern clocks were the first wall and table clocks produced for domestic settings, originating in England during the early seventeenth century. Their design features a compact square frame topped by a large striking bell, reflective of early domestic horological developments.

Traditional lantern clocks are constructed primarily from solid cast brass for the frame, dial plate, chapter ring, and decorative frets. The movement components typically utilise a combination of iron and brass gears.

Authentic period lantern clocks generally display hand-engraved dials, original weight-driven or conversion pendulum movements, hand-cut brass frets, and signs of historical wear on internal gear work. Roman numeral chapter rings with engraved centre rosettes are also key indicators.

A lantern clock serves as an accent piece when displayed on a wooden fireplace mantel, side table, or open bookshelf. Pairing polished brass horology with darker timber or neutral backdrops enhances contrast in modern classical spaces.

Dust the exterior regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that strip aged lacquers or patination. Mechanical movements require periodic servicing by a specialist horologist every few years to maintain proper lubrication.
