You should consult websites on antique clocks and start learning all
about them, e.g.

Antique Clocks Price Guide - Grandfather Wall and Mantel:
http://www.antiqueclockspriceguide.com/

Besides the British, the French, have manufactured beautiful standing
clocks, whereas the Swiss concentrated on wall clocks. IMHO, the
various types manufactured in the French Jura, called "morbier" or
"comté", as from the name of a township or the area "France Comté",
are very interesting.
