How Much are Grandmother Clocks?
Finding the Right Clocks for You
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A grandmother clock is one that is shorter than a grandfather clock. It stands less than 6’3” tall and has a slimmer case. As it takes up less space than a grandfather clock, a grandmother clock is a great choice for halls, foyers and smaller rooms. Shop a collection of grandmother clocks from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a grandmother clock and a granddaughter clock is height. A grandmother clock is a longcase clock that is usually around 60 to 72 inches tall, while a granddaughter clock is one that is 36 to 60 inches high. Both are shorter than a grandfather clock, which typically measures 73 to 90 inches in height. Explore a diverse assortment of grandmother and granddaughter clocks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell the age of a grandmother clock, research its maker using trusted online resources. If you're unsure who produced your clock, look on the inside and back for a maker's marking. Many makers dated their grandmother clocks in some fashion. Depending on the maker, there may be a serial number, movement number or date code that you can use to determine your clock's year of production. By learning how to date clocks produced by your piece's manufacturer, you should be able to at least estimate its age. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer examine your clock and date it for you. Find a range of grandmother clocks on 1stDibs.
