Mantel Clocks

Usually small in size, mantel clocks are able to provide all of the sophisticated style of much larger clocks, but in a little package. Mantel clocks are often recognizable by their traditional shapes.


BarkleyTambour Clock by Seth Thomas

The First Spring-Powered Clock
In Nuremberg, Germany, spring-powered clocks were developed at the turn of the 16th Century by Peter Henlein. This wonderful clock made timekeeping more convenient to a greater portion of the population, being much smaller and easily operated than any other timekeeping device previously developed. Thereafter, French manor houses with numerous fireplaces were proudly displaying gorgeous clocks on their mantels. And very soon, the mantle clocks grew to be popular beyond French borders.


Mantels and Beyond
Mantel clocks look perfectly at home on all kinds of mantels. Yet they are also stylishly grace display cabinets, desktops and bookshelves in any room in your home or office. Add interest to a collection of family photos and a little magic to an end table by including a lovely mantle clock.


Variety of Mantel Clocks
Many types of mantle clocks are available to suit the look you have in mind. Arched mantel clocks are a graceful, semi-circular shape at the top. Bracketed and carriage mantel clocks are both usually a square or rectangular shape with straight-forward styling. The main difference is that the carriage models have a carrying handle. Also, recognized for the semi-circular top that curves at each side into the widened base, tambour mantel clocks might be the most popular type of mantel clock.


Mantel Clock Options and Features
Many modern mantel clocks are spring-driven; these clocks require weekly manual winding using a key. Also, some mantel clocks are battery powered with quartz movement. For supreme accuracy, you might consider an atomic mantel clock. Atomic clocks use radio signals to stay in sync with the official time, as kept by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
