Which clocks are best at enhancing the décor of a room?
A fine clock doesn’t merely add to the elegance of a room. A
real clock - a clock carefully designed and assembled to the highest standards
by a talented clock artisan - is the elegance
of a room. A real clock astonishes guests, stops them dead in their tracks, and
leaves them with the notion; I need a
clock like that in my home.
Once that idea enters an individual’s mind it is hard to
shake out. Chiefly because of the many graceful styles of clock that one
encounters when deciding which to add to their home.
The question shifts from when
will I get a clock to what kind of
clock will I get?
Mantel Clocks

clocks usually positioned on fireplace mantelpieces and bookshelves. Usually
comprised of wood, porcelain, and ormolu, they are perfect accents for high ceiling
dens and libraries with large fireplaces.

clock. A key wound device, it runs eight days on one wind and features a spiffy
nickel ring on a brass panel. It also plays the Westminster melody on tuned
steel rods.See
