Questions About Vintage Book Clocks
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Vintage is a somewhat interpretable term for older clocks. If a clock is over 100 years old, it can officially be considered antique, but vintage is a bit more open of a term. Many collectors consider around 50 years old to be vintage, but a more open concept is that if the clock could not be reproduced today, it could be considered vintage. On 1stDibs, find an array of beautiful vintage and antique clocks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a clock is vintage, look for a maker's mark. From there, you can consult trusted online resources to determine who produced your clock. Then, by reviewing the manufacturer's catalogues, you can get a rough idea of when the maker produced similar clocks. For a clock to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. Clocks made 100 years ago or earlier are antique. Another way to date your clock is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer inspect it. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and antique clocks.
