A type of wall clock in which only the movement and dial are enclosed by a hood and the weights and pendulum hang down below. This is a considerable disadvantage as the pendulum may easily be disturbed and stop the clock. Sometimes a lantern clock designed to hang on a hook was provided with a wooden bracket and a wooden hood to act as a dust cover, but most hooded clocks were designed as such. By 1700 they were often made with elaborate marquetry hoods. Most were of the single-hand variety, with simple country-made fruitwood cases, but clocks with minute hands are also known. Hooded clocks continued to be made throughout the 18th century but were eventually replaced by the English dial clock with its eight-day spring-driven fusee movement.
