Is a clock a piece of furniture?
1 Answer

Whether a clock is a piece of furniture depends on its type. Freestanding clocks, like grandfather clocks, arguably fall under the category of furniture. On the other hand, wall clocks are usually thought of as wall decor, while table clocks may be called table decor or decorative objects. Shop a wide range of clocks on 1stDibs.
