Mission (Shelf, Wall, Longcase) | |
These clocks reflected the aesthetics of the Mission movement of designers at the turn of the 20th century. In reaction to the overly ornate mid and late Victorian styles, these craftsmenıs "mission" was to return to the basics of simple and functional design. Mission style clocks cases are generally made of oak, with clean square or rectangular lines and flat surfaces, Arabic numerals, and simple pendulums. They were made as wall clocks, shelf clocks and longcase clocks. |
