Bracket Mantel Clocks

Bracket & Mantel Clocks

Bracket Clock – Spring driven clocks first appeared in England in the 17th century and rapidly became the vehicle for clock makers to advertise their skills in design, decoration and functionality to feed demand from wealthy clients and export markets like the Ottoman Empire, China and Russia. Clock cases reflected the styles of long case clocks of the era, with early engraved and decorated clocks evolving into simpler functional models.

Mantel Clock – a spring-driven clock intended for placing on the mantel over a fireplace. Developed in the 18th century, they changed the way clocks were designed at the time, with movements seated rather than attached to the back board. Early mantel clocks were very artistic and decorative, intended to be displayed in the house on top of the mantel piece or a shelf. Technically, it is like a carriage clock but smaller and with no handle and is often low and wide. Generally they are more ornate than a bracket clock, although more recently there has been a blending of the two styles.
