Filed Under mantel clocks | Leave a Comment
Clocks don’t just have to be for telling the time, they can also bring style and beauty to a room. One of the most common types of clock is the mantle clock and in this article we’ll be discussing what they are, the styles that are available and how to buy them.
The term “mantle clocks” is used to describe any clock that’s meant to be placed on the mantle piece. This type of clock originated in France several hundred years ago and became popular because they were much more decorative than other kinds of clock that had been used in the past.
When buying mantle clocks there are a huge number of different options available so you need to be careful about which one you choose. They’re also manufactured from a number of different materials which gives you further options. For example, it’s not uncommon for mantle clocks to be made out of wood or porcelain.
As mantle clocks have been popular for a long time there are some manufacturers who’ve built up a reputation for quality. A good example of this is Seth Thomas which is one of the oldest clockmakers in America and have been building clocks for mantle pieces for a long time. If you want to get a high quality clock with a traditional style then a Seth Thomas mantle clock may be perfect for you. You may also want to consider a Howard Miller mantle clock when looking for an authentic design.
With all these options available how do you start looking for the right one for you? The first thing to remember is that the style of the clock you buy must match the rest of the room. Mantle clocks are one of the most decorative types of clock and you don’t want to buy one that looks out of place. You also need to decide whether you want a chiming mantle clock or not.
Another thing you need to consider is whether to buy an antique mantle clock. An antique clock will generally be more expensive than a new or replica clock but can bring an authenticity to an interior décor that other types can’t match. One of the most common brands that people look for when buying antique clocks is Sessions, although you need to be careful when buying a Sessions mantle clock to avoid mistakenly buying a replica. There’s nothing wrong with buying a replica – they can be extremely convincing – but you definitely don’t want to pay antique prices for them!
