wood mantel clock

Mantel or shelf clocks were one of the most popular clocks during the 18th and 19th centuries. They were inexpensive to make and affordable to own. These clocks were so named because they were small enough to be displayed on a shelf or mantel. People have the option to choose brass or wood mantel clock.

The movements of mantel clocks run anywhere from 30 hours to eight days between windings. This type of clock originated from France in the 18th century. Mantel clocks took off in the US in Connecticut in the early 19th century when a clockmaker began mass producing them.
