Mantel Clock Wood For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic mantel clock wood available at 1stDibs. Each mantel clock wood for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, metal and brass. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer mantel clock wood, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. A mantel clock wood is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Art Deco, Empire and Georgian styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made mantel clock wood over the years, but those crafted by Astral, Empire Art Products Co. and Lenzkirch Clock Factory are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Mantel Clock Wood?

Finding the Right Mantel-clocks for You

Personal time-telling devices may have migrated from our pockets to our wrists and finally onto our phones, but despite the convenience of a handheld digital timekeeper, nothing can beat well-made vintage, new and antique mantel clocks.

Invented by clockmakers in France and popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries, these practical yet ornate pieces were typically displayed on top of fireplaces or desks. While the most common mantel clocks were created in the traditional tambour style, which features a wide base that flares into an upright drum- or camelback-shaped case, modern clockmakers and furniture designers have experimented with their own ideas for these decorative objects over the years, introducing different forms and working with unconventional materials. A collection of whimsical, monochromatic handmade mantel clocks crafted by Dutch designer Kiki van Eijk, called Floating Frames, for example, features minimalist frames of anodized wire and ceramic clockfaces.

When shopping for an antique, vintage or new mantel clock, don’t be afraid to branch out. Wood mantel clocks of any era will bring a classic, elegant allure to the shelving in your living room or the bookcase in your bedroom, while Empire-style mantel clocks will comparatively boast eye-catching gilt bronze and pronounced sculptural attributes. Some Art Deco mantel clocks will feature an integration of marble or glass and will likely be marked by the decorative embellishments associated with that particular furniture style.

There’s just something about cool clocks, right? Spend your time with an extraordinary collection of mantel clocks on 1stDibs today.

    How you adjust a French mantel clock depends on its design. In many antique clocks, there is a winding slot that says R for Retard on one side and A for Advance on the other.

Find a large collection of French mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
