The bracket clock evolved alongside the longcase clock in the late 17th century.  An architectural form was used to begin with with plain ebony cabinet work.  Bracket clocks from this early period are very rare and were made by the famous makers of the time like Tompion, Knibb and Fromanteel.  At this early period the verge escapement was used.  

As the 18th century progressed different veneers were used, the most popular being mahogany and walnut. The anchor escapement also made its first appearance in a bracket clock C.1800.  

Throughout the 19th century a mixture of styles were used and bracket clocks were made in large numbers and always of the highest quality.
