Bracket clock

Bracket clocks were developed in last quarter of the 17th century. They are composed of two matching pieces created as an ensemble: clock and small decorative shelf. Bracket clocks are usually about one 1'H x 9"W. They are almost always made of wood and often ornamented with ormolu mounts, brass inlay, wood or tortoise shell veneer, or decorative varnish.
