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.

    The difference between a grandmother clock and a granddaughter clock is height. A grandmother clock is a longcase clock that is usually around 60 to 72 inches tall, while a granddaughter clock is one that is 36 to 60 inches high.

    What the rarest clock is today will owe to a particular model's presence on the market. The rarest and most sought-after clocks in the world include those created by Patek Philippe, Waltham Watch Company, Cartier, Hermle, E. Howard & Co. and Thomas Tompion.

    If a given model designed by one of these manufacturers is scarce, this attribute will be critical to determining its value providing there is demand for it. While other factors are at play when it comes to value, scarcity is important in the world of collectibles.

    Clocks designed in recent decades may be worth more than their older counterparts if fewer of the former are on the market. For example, an antique clock manufactured in a large quantity, even if it is an exceptionally decorative object adorned with gilt bronze flowers and tortoiseshell elements, may be worth far less than a one-of-a-kind vintage clock owing entirely to rarity and demand.

    A table clock designed by prestigious English clockmaker Thomas Tompion for Queen Mary in 1693 was sold at auction for more than $2 million in 2019, while a clock named the Duc d'Orléans Breguet Sympathique, designed by the Swiss house of Breguet in the 1830s, fetched $6.8 million at auction in 2012. There are an estimated 12 Sympathiques in existence.
