Industrial Decorative Objects

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.

Large Reclaimed Railway Platform Clock by Synchronome
Located in Nottingham, GB
Introducing the Beautiful Original Railway Clock by Synchronome - a vintage masterpiece that embodies the best of British clock-making. Crafted in England circa 1920 by The Synchronome Company Ltd, this clock exemplifies the brand's dedication to producing the most accurate electric clocks of the early to mid-20th century. Featuring a rear movement cover stamped 'CLACTON ON SEA STATION CONCOURSE,' this clock exudes a sense of history and character that will transport you to a different era. The one-piece green enamelled stepped steel case and aged white enamelled dial with evidence of some paint repairs over the years add to its unique charm. The dial indices are complete in Roman numerals, and the large Syncronome Electric makers mark takes centre stage. The trademark spade hands found on most Synchronome Clocks add a touch of elegance and sophistication. This clock retains its original slave movement, which includes a modern impulse driver to run the clock. This provides a satisfying click every 30 seconds, moving the minute hand each impulse, and can be either battery or mains operated. You can also contact us if you require other movement options. Standing at an impressive size, this clock will be a focal point of any interior, as seen in the images with a 6ft 1" figure representing scale. Whether you are looking for a striking piece for your home or a unique addition to your vintage clock collection...
