French Samuel Marti Figural Mantel Clock in Bronze and Ormolu, circa 1880

Located in Nottingham, GB

A richly decorative late 19th-century French figural mantel clock attributed to the celebrated clockmaker Samuel Marti, combining sculptural bronze work with an elaborate ormolu-mounted case. The clock is surmounted by a finely modelled seated female figure in classical dress, posed gracefully above the movement and accompanied by floral and symbolic ornament. Her flowing robes, softly rendered features and relaxed posture give the composition a distinctly Romantic character, while the darker bronze finish provides an attractive contrast with the gilded base below. The architectural case is exceptionally ornate, with scrolling Rococo-inspired foliage, acanthus decoration, pierced flourishes and richly cast gilt-bronze detailing. Two oval porcelain panels decorated with delicate floral sprays flank the central dial and add a refined decorative accent to the composition. The original white enamel dial displays black Roman numerals and elegant hands within a finely cast gilt surround. The movement is supplied with its key and pendulum. The clock winds and ticks but has not been tested for prolonged accuracy after a period in storage. As with many antique mechanical clocks...

Vintage and Antique Clocks for Sale: Find Unique Wall Clocks, Decorative Table Clocks and Grandfather Clocks on 1stDibs

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.
