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.

Developed in the early 17th century, the lantern clock was the first type of clock produced in quantity for domestic British interiors, characterised by its brass frame, top-mounted bell dome, and posted movement construction.

Lantern clocks were primarily fabricated from cast and sheet brass, featuring turned corner columns, pierced frets around the upper structure, and a large central bell housed beneath an overarching strapwork dome.

Authentic early examples often display hand-engraved chapter rings with single hour hands, evidence of historical escapement conversions, and hand-hammered brass components showing natural oxidisation and wear.

Position the clock on a dark wood mantelpiece, console table, or within a library bookcase to create a warm focal point alongside classic literature and metallic accents.

Clean the brass framework gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove surface dust, avoiding harsh abrasive polishes that strip natural patina, and ensure mechanical movements are serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
