The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A strut clock is a portable table timepiece featuring a hinged rear support leg, or strut, which was popularised in 19th-century England by makers such as Thomas Cole.

These timepieces are typically constructed from engraved gilt brass with engine-turned silvered dials, steel clock hands, and glass face covers.

Authentic examples demonstrate high-grade floral or geometric engraving, precise engine turning across the dial, crisp maker or retailer stamps, and spring-driven mechanical movements.

Place the clock on an executive desk, mantelpiece, or sideboard top alongside leather-bound books and art objects to function as a focal accent.

Dust the exterior casing using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip original surface gilding, and ensure the movement is serviced by a horologist.
