Antiques: Tambour Clocks
The Elegance of Tambour Clocks
Tambour clocks were created in the first decade of the 1900s in the US. They were created by simplifying the multiple curved shapes of contemporary French clocks and removing ornate brass elements. They are inspired by the mantel clocks and offer the same type of style.
Tambour clocks add elegance to your mantel or favorite nook. They are designed with a genuine inlay marquetry and an accented case. The white dials are detailed with black Roman numerals at each hour and filigree hands.
