Mantel Clock

Mantel clocks are some of the most elegant and collected clocks of all timepieces, next to the much larger Grandfather clocks. They can mark anniversaries or weddings, and are often passed down through families. Their small size makes them easy to move from place to place. A mantel clock is a piece of quiet, stately luxury sitting in its given space, and speaks for itself. It will beautifully embellish any shelf or fireplace in your home. The first mantle clocks were made in France during the 1750’s. They were like chamber clocks, but without the carrying handles.

Early in the 19th century, a clock maker in Boston, Massachusetts began to design shelf, or mantle clocks. His name was Simon Willard, and he went on to achieve a patent for his mantle clocks. Craftsmanship of these fine clocks is an art in itself. While a wall clock uses its backboard as the attachment for its movements, the mantel clock’s movements are supported by its seat board. This feature makes any mantel clock unique and ornate in construction. The decorative and material possibilities are endless in these small, portable clocks.
