Home Decor Clocks

Earlier mantle clocks were made of using porcelain, ormolu or wood. In 1860 French mantle clocks were made up using onyx, marble or slate. Production of French mantle clocks was very expensive; therefore, when American companies started their production they used iron or woods instead of using marble, slate or onyx.

In modern times some companies even uses brass to make different styles of mantle timepieces. Woods for French clocks were typically cherry or oak.

French mantle clocks set usually consist of two decorative and highly ornamental pieces which are set in the sides of the center clock. The center clock of the French clock set has beautiful statues made up of bronze or cast speltzer.

Although many French mantle clocks are ornate, some display a bit of whimsy like the clock shown here portraying a French Bulldog.
