Sell Your 19th Century Georgian Style Gilt Bronze Mounted Bracket Clock
A bracket clock is a style of antique portable table clock made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The term originated with small weight-driven pendulum clocks (sometimes called ‘true bracket clocks’) that had to be mounted on a bracket on the wall to allow room for their hanging weights. When spring-driven clocks were developed, which didn’t require hanging weights to power them, they continued to be made in the bracket style. Often they are composed of two matching pieces created as an ensemble: the clock and its small decorative shelf. They are almost always made of wood, often ebony, and often ornamented with ormolu mounts, brass inlay, wood or tortoise shell veneer, or decorative varnish. Since in their day clocks were expensive, and a household would not have one in every room, bracket clocks usually had handles to carry them from room to room.
