What is a mercury pendulum regulator?

A mercury pendulum regulator is a precision timekeeper designed to minimise the effects of temperature changes on timekeeping accuracy. These instruments appear in both tall wooden longcase formats and glass-sided mantel designs from the nineteenth century.

Where were these clocks made?

These pieces originated primarily in France and England during the nineteenth century. French workshops specialised in gilt bronze crystal regulators, while English makers produced tall mahogany longcase regulators.

What materials are used in these clocks?

Common materials include brass, gilt bronze, glass, enamel, porcelain, and mahogany. Cases combine heavy metal framing with transparent glass panels or solid polished timber.
