Industrial Mantel Clocks
INDUSTRIAL STYLE
Industrial floor lamps, bar stools, desks and other industrial-style furnishings have experienced a resurgence in popularity with the rise of interest in minimalist design.
It's a look that celebrates the past even as it suggests vigor, productivity and brawn. The newly chic industrial style of decor repurposes the simple, sturdy furniture of an earlier world of commerce — brushed-metal storage cabinets and display shelves, task lamps and pendant lights with enameled shades, work tables with worn wooden tops and cast-iron bases — and couples them with aesthetic touches emblematic of energy and optimism, from bright upholstery fabrics to flowers.
The rise in prominence of the industrial style has come hand-in-hand with the residential repurposing of former manufacturing and warehouse districts throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. In many loft apartments created in shuttered factories, the architectural envelope has been left intact.
Industrial-style interiors feature elements like raw brick walls, exposed steel beams and oak floors whose history is written in every pit and gouge. Iron and glass transom windows give definition and interest to small kitchen areas anchored by kitchen islands made of marble, steel and brass, while taxidermy or vintage neon signs serve as wall art in living rooms dotted with leather club chairs. Patina is the keynote to a decor in sync with such surroundings.
On 1stDibs you will find industrial furniture designs that wear their age beautifully — and were built to last.

A Miniature Skeleton Mantel Clock By Victor Athanase Pierret
Located in Amersham, GB
A miniature French skeleton clock with silk suspension and eight day movement, dating from the mid 19th century, with original glass dome on an ebonised and brass inlayed base with enamel dial.
This clock was made by Victor Athanase Pierret whose distinctive VAP mark in an oval is stamped on the base of this clock. He exhibited a small skeleton alarm at the 1851 Great exhibition at Crystal Palace of which this may well be a version.
Victor-Athanase Pierret (1806 - 1893)
Victor-Athanse Pierret was born 1806 in Bucy-les-Pierrepont. He began his five year apprenticeship with Rolin at the age of 13. Later he moved to Paris and settled in the Rue des Bons-Enfants no. 21 when he was 24. Pierret created pendulum clocks with and without calender indicator, cases for ship’s chronometers, chronometer escapements with temperature compensation and night light clocks with pendulum. At the London Exhibition of 1851 he presented an alarm clock and a pendulum clock with a globe. In 1853 Pierret applied for a patent for a new date indication device, in 1855 he patented an 8-day power reserve movement.
Pierret created his own watchmaking tools...

General Artigas Gunboat Industrial Clock
Located in New Orleans, LA
This automaton gunboat clock is an impeccable example of the complex artistry of industrial timepieces. An automaton is incorporated into the ship's form, with a separate mechanism that causes the propeller to spin and the turret to rotate 360 degrees when wound. The clock's face and a barometer are mounted into the turret, while a thermometer graces the central tower’s façade.
Apart from its mechanical complexity, this timepiece abounds with artistic details. Crafted of silvered and gilt bronze, this particular example is modeled after the Uruguayan Naval gunboat General Artigas, commissioned in 1883 and named for Uruguayan national hero, José Gervasio Artigas. The vessel was designed to float semi-submerged with its rotating gun turret above water. In fact, rotating turrets were a new innovation in ships at the time that allowed guns to fire from either side without having to turn the boat around — a feature the clockmaker skillfully showcases. Air vents, deck ladders, a lifeboat, anchor chains and anchors are all mounted on a plinth of cast waves and marble base, lending a lifelike quality to this charming mechanical wonder.
