Antique Victorian Clocks

Do you collect antique clocks If yes then you must have a beautiful vintage Victorian Clock! This clock comes from the 19th century and would be a wonderful addition to your antique collection. A feature of classic Victorian clocks it that they often come under a dome. But with or without a dome they are still valuable.

The great thing about these clocks is that they come in various prices. If you want a Victorian collectible clock, you don't have to break the bank. Of course if you want to spend a bit more to get a great then Victorian vintage clocks are a good choice. The prices vary from super low $6 to into the thousands.

While the market for Victorian décor has been observed to be flagging some at the moment, finely made clocks and timepieces from the era are still hot. Beyond simple timekeeping, there is an entire niche of collectors devoted to acquiring Victorian clocks. These ornate timepieces can be used as a fasincating decorating accent, and do not necessarily even have to be functional to be enjoyed. Constant re-winding may not be a chore you wish hassel with, so don't bother, just set one on a shelf and enjoy the way it beautifies any mantle or room.

If you have a specifically Victorian theme to your home, then you will most definitely want to have a few authentic Victorian-era clocks adorning your rooms. You needn't spend a fortune for a fine timepiece. Many of Victorian clocks can be found for a very fair price at auctions and estate sales. The sharp-eyed collector should be able to discover some beautiful fines for very little money. If you desire a functioning clock, most of these timepieces were made to be very durable and a little professional repair can restore them to original working condition.

There are many desirable styles of Victorian clocks to look for. Alabaster was a popular material for clock cases, and the Ansonia company crafted some especially fine models from this era. There are abundant sculpture styles to be found as well in metal or stone. You may find clocks featuring human figures, animals, or historical scenes. Ornate sculptures were common on these clocks. The related Eastlake era gave birth to some very nice styles of clocks as well and many are of a very similar appearance to Victorian clock models. There are some very helpful resources to introduce you to the world of Victorian clock collecting. Two good books to begin with are: 'Victorian Clocks' by Richard Good (contains mainly info about English clocks), and 'The Standard Antique Clcok Value Guide' by Alex Wescot (good price information and info on mass market period clocks.)
