Standing the Test of Time…

History

Until the 19th century, clocks were seen as one of the most refined technical instruments in the world. Naturally, the casing (the way the clock looked) was subject to fashion. Around 1280, the first mechanical, weight-driven clocks appeared in Europe. These big clocks could only be seen in churches and monasteries. At the end of the 14th century, clocks were made for everyday use. This eventually led to the development of wearable clocks and watches.

Mantel and Table clocks

At Antique Style Web Store, clocks are available in various models. The mantel cock is a classic model, which is why it can be found on the web store in many variations. This type of clock looks perfect on a shelf or mantel above the fireplace. There are Baroque mantel clocks, Rococo mantel clocks, Tiffany mantel clocks and classic mantel clocks. The gold, patinated mantel clock with cherubs definitely determines the atmosphere wherever you place it. This clock made in the Rococo style is a true piece of art. There are two other models available in this series: ‘Time Standing Still’ and the Clocks with candlesticks. The ‘pocket watches’ that are also made to be set down are fun too. Have a look at the Empire clock in the English style, Watch and the Big Pocket Watch. Other elegant table clocks include Vintage Boudoir, Napoleon and Golden Times.
