Bracket Clocks
Bracket clocks refer to a type of clock that can be mounted on a wall bracket or shelf.
The first bracket clocks were produced around 1660 and initially had square brass dials. The arched dial became more popular by the early 18th century.
Bracket clocks can in fact be mounted on tables, shelves, etc. Sometimes you might also hear a bracket clock called a mantel clock as the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
By the mid 19th century production of the English bracket clocks began to fall as cheaper production methods meant that people could buy less expensive versions. Many of these were manufactured in America. |
