About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This object is a brass lantern clock featuring the inscription "Tho: Moore Ipswich" on the dial.
Background and Authenticity;
It dates from 1962 and is numbered.
The Reproductions: Since the mid-20th century (particularly in the 1950s and 1960s), large numbers of high-quality reproductions have been produced in Europe (including in Hungary). These were made in the characteristic 18th-century style and almost all bore the signature "Tho: Moore Ipswich". At the time, they were sold as decorative interior pieces by luxury department stores such as Harrods.
Features: This model has a traditional brass case, an engraved center, Roman numerals on the dial, and a striking mechanism at the top driven by a chain and weights.
Chain drive: The clock has two sprockets (discs with teeth over which the chains run). Solid gears: The thick brass gears and the construction between the uprights are typical of the robust reproductions from the 20th century (often referred to as Smiths or Davall movements built into these cases).
Production number: At the bottom of the base plate, the number "12 62" is very faint. This often indicates a manufacturing date (for example, December 1962), which aligns perfectly with the heyday of these Thomas Moore reproductions.
Original weights, with original wooden base for hanging and in perfect working order.
The dimensions cannot be displayed precisely due to the pendulum and wooden base. The dimensions shown are of the case.
