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 Seth Thomas Ship Clock
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    To identify a Seth Thomas clock, check its movement for a maker's mark. You may need to remove the back of the clock to access it. During the 19th and mid-20th centuries, the clockmaker usually used its full name in script or block letters to mark its pieces. Later clocks are more likely to display either an S centered with a diamond or the initials ST positioned in a circle. If you have trouble finding a marking, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can perform the identification process for you. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Seth Thomas clocks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell the date on a Seth Thomas clock, look for a code on the bottom or case back. Most pieces will show the year of production first, with the numbers reversed. Then, you'll usually see a letter. These letters correspond to months, with A representing January, B representing February and L corresponding to December. For example, a date code that reads 31F's manufacturing date would be June 1913. If you need help with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To date a Seth Thomas mantel clock, examine the gears inside. If the movement is wood, the production date of the clock is somewhere between 1817 and 1830. Clocks made after 1881 may feature an ink code date stamp on the case back or bottom. A licensed appraiser can provide assistance with determining the exact manufacturing year.
