Dent was a famous London manufacturer of luxury clocks and watches, founded by Edward John Dent in 1814. A notable success for the company was winning the contract to make the clock for the new palace of Westminster, which became known as Big Ben. They are responsible for many famous historical clocks including chronometers which accompanied some of the 19th century's most influential explorers. They were award winners and holders of many Royal Warrants.

Condition / Servicing Note:

Please note that antique clocks are complex and sensitive mechanical objects. While some clocks may be running at the time of listing we cannot guarantee ongoing performance without a full inspection and testing period by our specialist horologist. Where inspection, testing, or servicing is required this process can take between 2–12 weeks depending on the clock, the work needed, and current workload. This careful approach helps ensure the clock is properly assessed rather than rushed. See less
