Mark Laverton Clocks is a UK based family firm making authentic reproduction clocks of 'Antique' character using the heritage skills of England and the traditional materials necessary for the building of such a unique piece from an age when mechanical clocks were in their prime.

Our range of clocks includes Grandfather clocks, Grandmother or Longcase clocks, Wall, Regulator and Vienna Regulator clocks, Bracket or Mantel clocks and we also make two Banjo Barometers. Each of the specialist skills in the production of our clocks is carried out by a true craftsman. Couple with this the uniqueness of each piece of wood - then every clock evolves with its own individual personality.

Our Woods & Finishes

The Longcase or Grandfather clock is the classic English clock and is generally considered the finest achievement of English clockmaking. Cabinetmakers at the end of the 17th century used English Oak and by 1740 were using Brazilian Mahogany; we use both of these magnificent woods in our Grandfather, Bracket, and Wall clocks. The solid wood gives a truly beautiful mellow sound to the chimes. The cases are antiqued, and then traditionally finished by French polishing, We also offer Ebonised clocks, and hand painted clocks using specially prepared paints and patinas from Provence in southern France.

The Clock Dials

For our Grandfather, Bracket, and Wall clocks, we make our own white and brass dials. Each of our solid brass dials has a hand engraved centre and has engraved or cast brass corner spandrels. Our deep etched brass chapter rings are grained and silver plated. Our engraved designs are very traditional, often based on original Grandfather clocks circa 1770. Our London range of Bracket clocks is based on a classic Charles II clock circa 1775, and for these we also make our own carrying handles as well as the spandrels, chapter rings, and engraved dial plates.

A Very Special Timepiece

The clock whether it be a Grandfather clock Bracket clock or Wall clock, more than any other piece of furniture, becomes very much part of the home, almost living, ticking away the minutes and striking the hours – giving an atmosphere and presence that no other piece of furniture could possibly do. Clocks are remembered with affection and in the case of Grandfather clocks often referred to by name within the family circle. Indeed each one of our Grandfather clocks being an individual starts off life with its own name, so we know who has gone where. As we are a small family firm from the UK your clock will be one of a few rather than one of many.
