One of the Most Unique Types of Antique Clocks: Bracket Clocks
The prices of antique clocks range from hundreds to thousands depending of the type, function and value it has. To many antique clock collectors though, the price is dispensable even more if the clock is of high value and regard.
Various antique collectors do not usually confine themselves to collecting clocks from a single clock-making company or just one type of clock. Their clock collections usually range from different times, made by varying now defunct clock companies, and clocks of different types, sizes and shapes. One of the most popular antique time pieces are called bracket clocks.
Bracket clocks can be traced to the 17th and 18th century, making them truly valuable to the clock collectors. It is an antique, portable clock, which is weight-driven and had to be mounted on a bracket on the wall to support their hanging weight, hence the name suggests. The earlier versions were smaller and were rightly termed as “true bracket clocks” by more meticulous clock aficionados.
A bracket clock would often be a matching ensemble of two individual pieces: the clock itself, and a decorative shelf to match. Bracket clocks are generally made of wood, mostly ebony, and often went alongside with some ormolu mounts, wood or tortoise shell, brass inlay and decorative varnish. These clocks were widely known to be repeaters- that is, you can pull down a lever or cord to make it tell you the time through the striking of the hours.
Bracket clocks were famous for being night-time tellers because it specifically tells the time at night with just a pull of its cord. This was before any type of illumination could be built in to clocks to read the time in the dark. The hourly striking, however, was believed to disturb sleepers during the night, so “silent pull repeaters” were also made to silence its sound by the pull of a cord. These classic time pieces were commonplace at that time but were quite expensive. The clocks were also equipped with a handle for convenient transfer from room to room.
Nowadays, bracket clocks have been made with modernized versions. But the antique pieces remain quite expensive. The look may have slightly changed but its function and value hasn’t also, it is still widely available in the market so it’s very easy to find one for your self.
