Engraved brass clock dial

Clock dials of all kinds are collected for their art work, often being thought of as a form of Folk Art. Sometimes they are hung in clusters of three or more, effective at creating a bold, engaging designing display as well as being original art. Considering these dials' unique characteristics, its no surprise that such a form of collecting has become very popular. Ask us about installing working clocks with these old dials so they can function as working clocks. This dial is from a "Bracket" clock, a domestic clock about the size of a mantel clock. It dates to the 18th century. This square dial is a great example of the art of engraving and the high degree of effort that went into the making of clocks over 200 years ago. Probably German or Austrian. 7.5"H x 7.625"W
