Collectible Mantel Clocks

A wonderful addition to the interior of your home or workplace, mantel clocks offer a timeless beauty with their unique designs from many different manufacturers. Prized by collectors worldwide, the designs of an antique Seth Thomas clock, the intricate carvings of a Gilbert clock, or a tambour clock from the Sessions clock company, all are valued highly by collectors of fine antiques.

Credit is generally given to the English for the production of the first mantle clocks sometime in the 1500s. Gracing the fireplace mantles of royalty, these first clocks made an immediate impression worldwide and became a must have for the fortunate few who could afford them.

This site, Collectible Mantel Clocks, is primarily designed to display antique and collectible clocks from Seth Thomas. After earning national acclaim with their grandfather clocks in the early 19th century, the company branched out to include mantel clocks, shelf clocks, and wall clocks along with many other beautiful designs. As the years passed the public became aware of how well a Seth Thomas clock performed even after years of keeping time. This led to their increased popularity among clock collectors worldwide.

As we begin our second decade of the 21st century the acquisition of an antique mantel clock or antique wall clock from Seth Thomas can be sure to enhance the interior of any home or office.
