From shadows produced by obelisks and sundials to water continually dripping from a reservoir to indexed candles melting and finally sand in hourglasses, humans have created many innovative timepieces. Artisans and craftsmen have invested countless hours into antique clock design. At Fireside Antiques, we have some of these pieces in our inventory.
