Parlor clocks are products of the Victorian Era. Reflecting the formal style of this mid-to-late 1800s period, the clocks were elegant and intended to be displayed on a shelf or mantel in a family’s parlor, typically the best room in the house, where guests were entertained. The clocks often have carved walnut cases and stenciled glass doors.
