FAQs

A portico clock is a architectural timepiece design originating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, characterised by a central dial suspended between four or more classical columns supporting an entablature.

These timepieces were traditionally crafted using fine cabinet woods such as flame mahogany or rosewood, paired with gilded bronze ormolu mounts and brass clock movements.

Authentic period examples feature hand-chased gilt bronze castings, mercury-gilded ormolu accents, fine movement plates with countwheel striking mechanisms, and heavy flame-veneered timber cases.

Position the clock centrally on a modern fireplace mantelpiece or credenza to act as an anchor piece, surrounding it with minimalist modern artwork or glass objects to create a balanced contrast.

Keep the clock away from direct heat sources and sunlight to protect the wood veneer, dust metal elements with a soft dry cloth, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every five to seven years.
