An ogee clock is a clock that was common in the 19th century. It was a pendulum driven clock of simple gothic taste that was made in the United States for such purposes as sitting on a mantel, wall, or bracket. These clocks are generally rectangular in shape, with ogee-profile molding which frames a glass door. The door is generally decorated with some kind of image, drawing, or picture. These antique clocks are probably the most common antique clocks made in American, and will probably be the starting point of most new collectors. Ogee refers to the profile of the molding, as it is curved like an s. This type of profile is also popular in architecture, and the similarity adds to the uniqueness of the clock. This is a fairly popular, inexpensive type of clock to collect. The wood is generally stained, adding to the gothic taste.
