Antique Mantel Clock For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the antique mantel clock you’re looking for. An antique mantel clock — often made from metal, bronze and stone — can elevate any home. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer antique mantel clock, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. An antique mantel clock is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Louis XVI, Empire and Victorian styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made antique mantel clock over the years, but those crafted by Japy Frères, Samuel Marti and Vincenti et Cie are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Antique Mantel Clock?

An antique mantel clock can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $5,207, while the lowest priced sells for $75 and the highest can go for as much as $275,000.

Finding the Right mantel-clocks for You

Personal time-telling devices may have migrated from our pockets to our wrists and finally onto our phones, but despite the convenience of a handheld digital timekeeper, nothing can beat well-made vintage, new and antique mantel clocks.

Invented by clockmakers in France and popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries, these practical yet ornate pieces were typically displayed on top of fireplaces or desks. While the most common mantel clocks were created in the traditional tambour style, which features a wide base that flares into an upright drum- or camelback-shaped case, modern clockmakers and furniture designers have experimented with their own ideas for these decorative objects over the years, introducing different forms and working with unconventional materials. A collection of whimsical, monochromatic handmade mantel clocks crafted by Dutch designer Kiki van Eijk, called Floating Frames, for example, features minimalist frames of anodized wire and ceramic clockfaces.

When shopping for an antique, vintage or new mantel clock, don’t be afraid to branch out. Wood mantel clocks of any era will bring a classic, elegant allure to the shelving in your living room or the bookcase in your bedroom, while Empire-style mantel clocks will comparatively boast eye-catching gilt bronze and pronounced sculptural attributes. Some Art Deco mantel clocks will feature an integration of marble or glass and will likely be marked by the decorative embellishments associated with that particular furniture style.

There’s just something about cool clocks, right? Spend your time with an extraordinary collection of mantel clocks on 1stDibs today.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    To identify your antique clock, search for markings on the back of its movement or case. Once you have located these marks, use trusted online resources to determine who the maker is.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021

These clocks were equipped with convenient carrying handles and were housed usually in rectangular cases. Shop a collection of antique and vintage bracket clocks from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    To know if an antique clock is valuable, you'll typically need to have the piece assessed by a certified appraiser or an experienced antiques dealer. The maker and style of the clock will help determine its value (an early American clockmaker’s antique grandfather model, featuring an oak case and decorative carvings, may be very interesting to collectors, for example). Overall condition of your clock also plays a role. Generally, clocks that still work are worth more than those that require repairs. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique, vintage and modern clocks.
