Finding the Right clocks for You
A sophisticated clock design, whether it’s a desk clock, mantel clock or large wall clock for your living room, is a decorative object to be admired in your home as much as it is a necessary functional element. This is part of the reason clocks make such superb collectibles. Given the versatility of these treasured fixtures — they’ve long been made in a range of shapes, sizes and styles — a clock can prove integral to your own particular interior decor.
Antique and vintage clocks can whisk us back to the 18th and 19th centuries. When most people think of antique clocks, they imagine an Art Deco Bakelite tabletop clock or wall clock, named for the revolutionary synthetic plastic, Bakelite, of which they’re made, or a stately antique grandfather clock. But the art of clock-making goes way back, transcending continents and encompassing an entire range of design styles and technologies. In short, there are many kinds of clocks depending on your needs.
A variety of wall clocks can be found on 1stDibs. A large antique hand-carved walnut wall clock is best suited to a big room and a flat background given what will likely be outwardly sculptural features, while Georgian grandfather clocks, or longcase clocks, will help welcome rainswept guests into your entryway or foyer. An interactive cuckoo clock, large or small, is guaranteed to bring outsize personality to your living room or dining room. For conversation pieces of a similar breed, mid-century modern enthusiasts go for the curious Ball clock, the first of more than 150 clock models conceived in the studio of legendary architect and designer George Nelson.
Minimalist contemporary clocks and books pair nicely on a shelf, but an eye-catching vintage mantel clock can add balance to your home library while drawing attention to your art and design books and other decorative objects. Ormolu clocks dating from the Louis XVI period, designed in the neoclassical style, are often profusely ornate, featuring architectural flourishes and rich naturalistic details. Rococo-style mantel clocks of Meissen porcelain or porcelain originating from manufacturers in cities such as Limoges, France, during the 18th and 19th centuries, exude an air of imperial elegance on your shelves or side tables and can help give your desk a 19th-century upgrade.
On 1stDibs, find a range of extraordinary antique and vintage clocks today.
Questions About Time And Chimes
- What is a chime on a clock?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The chime on a clock is the tune that it plays at specific time intervals. A clock may chime on the hour, or more frequently to mark shorter time increments. Shop for a variety of clocks from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The meaning of the chimes on a clock relates to time. At specific intervals, the chimes play a melody to let you know how much time has passed. Depending on the design, clock chimes may sound every 15, 30 or 60 minutes. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage clocks.
- What makes a clock chime?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A mechanical process is what makes a clock chime. The music roll pulls back a chime hammer, which then returns to its original position and hits a chime rod, or in certain cases, a steel tuned tube, as it rotates. The majority of chiming, weight-driven mechanical grandfather clocks have 12 hammers and rods. Find a collection of antique and vintage clocks on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A Westminster chime clock features a quartz clock movement, which electronically plays the “Westminster Quarters” / “Westminster Chimes” melody on the hour mark. A Westminster chime clock also plays a progressive melody to mark every quarter-hour. Westminster chime clocks are considered classic and timeless furnishings, made using high-quality wood and metals. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage Westminster chime clocks.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021A Westminster chime clock uses quartz movement to work the gears, to move pendulums and to play the popular melody everyone is fond of. The quartz movement electronically plays the melody that can be set to play on the hour, half an hour and quarter hour if desired. Find a wide range of antique, new and vintage clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To fix the chime on a mantel clock, take it to an experienced clock repair shop. A professional will have the knowledge and tools necessary to diagnose the problem with the chimes and make the necessary repairs. You'll find a range of mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
- How do I adjust a Rolex’s time?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To adjust a Rolex's time, first unscrew the crown. Slide the crown to the second notch and wait for the second hand to stop moving before setting. The specific method varies from model to model. A user guide accompanies each Rolex watch sold and describes the correct time-setting process for that model in great detail. Find a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- What is dual time on a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Dual time on a watch is time in two different time zones. Therefore, a dual time watch has two hour hands in order to differentiate between these two different time zones. Dual time watches tend to be a popular option for travelers that want to be able to quickly reference their “home” time.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Yes, fountains should run 24/7.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Each Rolex model may be slightly different, but most models feature a crown at the side that lets you adjust the time. Gently unscrew the crown by twisting it counter-clockwise. Gently pull it out and let it click through two extended positions until it reaches the third extended position. Twist it clockwise to adjust the time. When finished, press it back in and screw it in, in a clockwise direction to keep the watch waterproof. Browse through a range of authentic Rolex watches from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Does watercolor fade over time?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, watercolor can fade over time. The paints are delicate and can lose their color quickly, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. However, artwork produced with watercolors can be protected from fading with a layer of varnish. Using acid-free paper can also reduce the risk of discoloration. Find a collection of fine art from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Necklaces that you can wear all the time include those made of metals that resist sweat and water damage, such as solid gold, gold-filled and sterling silver pieces. For everyday wear, many people prefer understated necklaces, like a plain chain or a simple pendant necklace. To protect your jewelry, remove necklaces before performing activities that could result in damage, such as exercising or playing sports. Shop a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
- What is a world time watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A world time watch is able to display the correct time in all 24 time zones across the globe at once. The internal bezel of a world watch contains 24 time zones. The inner ring makes one full revolution a day, showing the time in the other cities on the dial. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic world time watches from some of the world’s top sellers.

Shop a collection of earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024Yes, oil paintings darken over time. As oil paint is made of pigment particles, the range of substances that are used as pigment in oil paint can render certain colors susceptible to aging. Slowing the aging process for an oil painting involves storing your painting properly and keeping the work out of exposed sunlight. Temperature control and humidity are also important in preserving the life of an oil painting and slowing the aging process.
To maintain oil paintings that you purchased for your home, experts suggest that you keep them out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sunlight coming in from a window can fade the colors in your painting. Do not hang your oil painting near a heat source or where it can get wet (bathrooms and kitchens are not safe for your oil painting).
You may wish to dust your oil painting so that layers of dust don’t begin to gather on its surface. This should only be considered to remove loose dust. Never spray any chemical substance on your oil painting. Do not use a damp cloth to dust your oil painting. (Again, your painting should not be exposed to moisture.)
To remove loose dust, use a soft brush that measures approximately one to two inches wide with natural-hair bristles. Do not use a dust cloth or a feather duster, as those items may catch or leave threads or feathers behind. Do not apply pressure or dust your painting for an extended period of time.
