The Charm of Antique Wall Clocks
Once you experience the character and warmth that an older clock can give to a room, there is really no going back. That is how I feel about antique wall clocks. There is just something special about a finely crafted piece of art that just happens to tell time as well. These older jewels were usually constructed of wood, as this was the most readily workable material.
Larger clocks, like the ones on the sides of buildings or on clock towers were usually made of wrought iron or other steel fabrication to withstand the elements. It is not surprising that they have lasted many decades. Some of the clocks that were installed in train stations and hotel lobbies in the late 1800s and early 20th century are still functioning today. These antique clocks have probably outlasted many of the building’s plumbing and all of the staff. It just goes to show you that quality craftsmanship lasts.
