A Drumhead Clock is a clock characterised by its cylindrical or drum-shaped case enclosing a circular dial. Popular throughout the Regency, Victorian and Edwardian periods, drumhead clocks were commonly produced as mantel clocks, carriage clocks and desk clocks in brass, ormolu, marble or timber cases. Their elegant proportions and refined simplicity continue to make them highly collectable. *Related Terms*\ Bracket Clock, Carriage Clock, Mantel Clock, Timepiece, Vienna Regulator.
