An Outstanding and Important Brass Lantern Clock
Retaining Original Balance Wheel Escapement
Made by William Dent
London
Circa 1675-1685
Original short pendulum and escapement; all else original except side doors. This type of movement was made for only a very short period after Christian Huygens (1629-1695) invented the pendulum clock circa 1656-1657 and the late 1680's when the long pendulum and anchor escapement were introduced-quickly replacing the short pendulum movement with the verge/anchor escapement. Most all lantern clocks were upgraded-improved shortly thereafter. Timepieces with original movements dating to the above mentioned period are exceedingly rare. Huygens is given credit as the first to introduce and put into practice the pendulum. This example surmounted by a large bell and nicely pierced and engraved frets; the fret with engraved crossed dolphins is above engraved brass plate. Centering the engraved, enameled and silvered chapter ring is the dial center decorated with engraved scrolled tulip and foliate design beneath maker's signatory engraving. The clock stands at 16-inches. Mechanically fine. For futher information about this clock and others, contact David Hillier at drh@aaawt.com.
