Lancet clock

A type of longcase or bracket clock with a case shaped at the top in the form of a pointed Gothic arch. This design is encountered during the early 19th century in England and continued into the reign of Queen Victoria. It is typical of other domestic furnishing of the late Gothic Revival and often included the decoration of the mahogany or rosewood veneered case with inlaid classical ornament and stringing in brass.
