At Dutch Time Pieces we have a wide variety of antique clocks for sale. If you are looking for a specific antique clock and you can't find it on our site, please contact us. We may have it in stock or we can source it for you. Bracket and mantle clocks are not the same. The bracket clock, as its name implies, was made to stand on matching bracket fixed to the wall.
Antique grandfather clocks are also called antique longcase clocks or tall clocks. An antique grandfather clock ranges in sizes but are normally eight feet tall. The first longcase clock was made in London by William Clement a British clockmaker in the year 1680. It is used mainly as an antique or for decorative purposes.
Bracket and mantel clocks are not the same. The bracket clock, as its name implies, was made to stand on matching bracket fixed to the wall. Mantle clocks would stand on the mantle shelf/fireplace. They were made in the 17th and 18th centuries in London mainly for architecture designs. Early designs were ebony-veneered and later designs were ebonised.
Wall clocks are the most common clocks we have around; they are specifically designed to be mounted on walls in homes, premises, and office to show time. They have a harmonic oscillator and a resonator which keeps vibrating at a given frequency. A resonator can either be a quartz crystal, a pendulum or vibrating electrons.
A carriage clock is a small spring driven clock, designed for travelling and introduced in the early 19th century by Abraham Louis Breguet for Emperor Napoleon. The case is usually plain or gilded. They run for eight days with a single wind and have a beautiful tickling sound. They are basically in traditional designs and their design has changed very little from the original design.
