FAQs

Lantern clocks were the first widespread type of domestic mechanical clock produced in Britain, dating from the early seventeenth century. Their design features a compact brass box frame surmounted by a large bell held within crossed arches, flanked by decorative pierced frets.

These clocks are primarily constructed from cast and polished brass, often with a steel movement framework and a copper or bronze bell. The dial typically features a central brass plate with hand engraving, encircled by a silvered brass chapter ring with Roman numerals.

Authentic pieces demonstrate period-correct construction methods such as hand-cut iron or steel wheelwork, original hand engraving on the dial centre, and signs of conversions from original balance wheels to anchor escapements or fusee mechanisms executed in later periods.

A brass lantern clock serves as a focal point when placed on a dark wood mantelpiece, console table, or bookshelf. Pairing the warm metallic tone of the brass frame with structured architectural books, neutral walls, or dark timber surfaces highlights its geometric profile.

Dust the exterior casing regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent dirt build-up. Avoid aggressive chemical metal polishes that strip developed patination, and ensure the internal mechanical movement is serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
