Other clocks that are smaller are made of metal finishes, porcelain and glass with embellishments like chinoiserie painting which are intricately hand-painted and engravings or carvings of nature designs. 

A British collectable clock can be made as a replica of clocks existing in a particular era.  Most of these clocks are commissioned or customized for a particular even, exhibit or institution in memoriam of a person, place or company.
