At first, Seth Thomas clocks were focused on grandfather clocks. Before long their beautiful and captivating designs were highly sought after, and towns, cities and businesses wanted to display tower clocks made by Seth Thomas in their buildings. The most famous example of this is the tower clock in the middle of Grand Central Station, in New York City.

During his life, Seth Thomas crafted clocks that were very traditional, displaying that classic sense of beauty that still makes people want to display fine antique mantel clocks and wall clocks in their homes today. It speaks to an older, simpler and perhaps even better time in American society and livelihood, and of course it’s a product of American ingenuity and brilliance.

After his death, his sons began crafting more styles and expanding the horizons of the company, although the quality was of course maintained. After 1859, many large wall clocks became prominently made by the company, and they had already been busy with mantel clocks for quite some time. Regular clocks, spring driven clocks, perpetual calendar clocks and other innovations were rolled out one after the other in the middle and late 1800s.

By the end of the 19th century, there was a wide line of marble clocks, as well as iron clocks with black enamel. Afterwards, the material Adamantine was used prominently in Seth Thomas clocks, as an affordable, high quality and versatile material. At the turn of the 20th century came tambour Seth Thomas clocks, followed by chime clocks and finally electric clocks by 1928.

Today you can find a huge collection of Seth Thomas clocks for sale online, across a wide range of styles and looks. You can find everything from antique wall clocks and large wall clocks, to classic shelf and mantel pieces, tambour clocks and more.

Because antique maps and old maps prints on paper are vulnerable to deterioration with the passage of time, they are individually relatively rare; so we usually have only one of each image.
