Mantle Clock

A mantle clock is an exotic timepiece that combines functionality with style. These clocks are usually made of solid wood with a large white dial, enabling the viewer to easily read the time. The numbers are depicted as either normal numbers or roman numerals. Depending on user preferences, oak wood with different polishes such as a cherry wood finish are incorporated, converting the mantle clock into more than just a timepiece. Sporting varied styles and wood tones, these antique clocks have the potential to fit in with just about any room’s interior décor.

Alongside the intended time-telling facility, some mantel clocks were also rendered with a feature of receiving radio signals from atomic clocks further increasing the precision of these time-keeping devices. Alongside the aesthetic appeal, these mantle clocks were built for durability. When well maintained, mantel clocks are known to offer consistent performance for decades. The chiming feature updates all members of a household about the passage of the hours. The clock owner has the option of choosing between the Westminster and Wittington chiming styles.

The clock’s performance is enhanced with the incorporation of a rotating Swarovski crystal pendulum having around three crystals. The mantle clock may have a glass front with bevelled glass sides. Carriage mantle clocks are spring-driven timepieces designed to be extremely portable. Truly, mantel clocks are undisputed works or art and have now become collector’s items.
