Some of you may be more aware of market trends than I am, but I am wondering what is the state of current market for English lantern clocks? I'm referring to original clocks from 17th and early 18th centuries, either with original balance wheel, or later verge or anchor escapements.
I understand that the antique clock market has been on a downslope for a few years, value wise, but am wondering how original English lantern clocks have fared in the market. Are we in a buyers' or sellers' market, and would this be a good time for someone to try to get into the market and make a few judicious acquisitions?
Thanks.
