Bracket - Shelf Clock ~ European
|
Bracket clocks, in the 17th and 18th century, were originally
designed to stand on a complementary wall bracket. The importance of keeping time dates
back to
around 250 BC, when water clocks and sundials were used to tell time. Not until 1300
AD, were more reliable clocks developed in Europe. In time, clocks were not only important
to accurately tell time, but were also used as necessary ornaments.
