Seth Thomas Mantle Clock Classical Pillar faux Marble WATCH VIDEO OF CLOCK

  
From 1860 through 1870 clocks imported from Europe with decorative slate, onyx or marble cases became very popular among the purchasers in the United States. In 1882 Seth Thomas partnered with The Celluloid Manufacturing Company of New York City and started using a new material called Adamantine which was a celluloid veneer in a wide variety of colors that simulate marble or alabaster.

This new material made the clock appear like many of the more expensive clocks imported from Europe, but would sell at a price most families could afford. Adamantine veneer was developed by the Celluloid Manufacturing Company of New York City, and was covered by U. Patent number 232,037, dated September 7, 1880. This clock is from the late1800s. It measures approximately 15 1/2 inches width by 10 3/4 inches high by 7 1/4 inches depth.

The clock will need servicing. It will run temporarily and then stop, the chime functions and bells all work as you can see in the video.

It comes with original key and pendulum. A beautiful piece of history. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Clocks\Desk, Mantel & Shelf Clocks".
