Ancient Chinese Incense Clock

We never seem to have enough time on our hands and the concept isn't a new one. Mankind has been measuring the passage of time for thousands of years. One of the earliest clocks ever discovered was the incense clock, pictured above, a Chinese timekeeping device invented during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The clock had stylized metal incense holders that measured minutes, hours and days, depending on how quickly the incense burned and fell. The clock also contained bells and gongs that acted as strikers. Incense clocks were commonly used in homes and temples.

Choose from two styles of Asian Clocks: a wall-mounted Shanghai Clock or the Feng Shui Console Table Clock.

Shanghai Wall Clock

Feng Shui Compass Table Clock

Our 13-inch wall clock is an exact replica of an original clock used to advertise the Shanghai Trading Company, a leading shipping company in Shanghai, China in the late 1800's. At that time, Shanghai was a busy, exotic international port of commerce shipping tea, spices, and silks all over the world. Recall some of the charm of those days with our modern interpretation of the original Shanghai clock, incorporating both Chinese and English characters indicating time periods of the day. Ships UPS.
