Yorkshire-based Brian and Joy Loomes offer an exciting and broad selection of interesting Lantern clocks.

An example of which is a fine 1650’s Civil War era Lantern clock. It originally had balance-wheel escapement, later converted to anchor. It features matchstick man casting mark on the dial wheel with frets bearing the lion and the unicorn (reflecting the Royal Arms) and most likely replacing the original frets to celebrate the Restoration of Charles II.

One of only four signed Lantern clocks by Joseph Norris of Abingdon is also displayed. This prestigious maker learned most of his craft in Holland where he became one of the earliest makers of the Longcase clock. This clock is dated about 1695, is fully restored and was converted in the late 1800’s to a double-fusée chain movement. As you might expect the clock was sold but Looms continually searches to find some of the most rare pieces for collectors to enjoy.

The 8 and 30-hour long pendulum inspired the progression to the Longcase (or Grandfather) clock. Case styles and finishes then developed, reflecting regional tastes. The arch became a feature of the early multi-piece “chapter and spandrels” dials in about 1715 and then in the 1770’s painted and single sheet engraved brass dials were developed. The Clock-Work-Shop’s Rocking Ship Automata Longcase Clock is a most unusual and interesting 8-day Longcase. Dating from about 1775, the clock has a 12” matted dial with sweep centre calendar, seconds and a delightful rocking ship automaton in the arch. The pale oak case has attractive ebonised mouldings.

Smaller, more portable Bracket or Table clocks were introduced early in the 1700’s with the evolution of spring mechanisms and the innovative Fusée mechanism which evened out the variable power output of the spring. Extravagant and intricate case designs were influenced by the thriving export markets to the Ottoman Empire and China and the decorative mantelpiece clock became an important aesthetic addition to many homes.

Loomes is dedicated to sourcing both lantern and longcase antique clocks and offers buyers a wealth of delight to sit in pride of place in the home. Clocks can range from £3,000 to over £10,000 but there is no price too small for these rare, unusual and beautiful timepieces...
