Classic Plymouth tambour mantel clock by Seth Thomas, featuring a timeless arched case in a rich, warm wood tone. The proportions are spot-on, with a beautifully balanced silhouette and a clean, legible dial accented by ornate hands and brass bezel. This is one of those pieces that just works anywhere-traditional, transitional, or even mixed into more modern interiors for contrast. This is an 8-day key-wind movement and includes both key and pendulum. The clock is currently running and keeping time, and a video is included showing it in operation. Interior retains original paper label with instructions, adding to its authenticity. Light, honest age-related wear to the case as expected, but overall presents very well. A solid, dependable example with great presence and functionality.

The mantle clock has a 17 1/2 inch base and is a two tone wood. The clock keeps time and chimes once at the half hour and multiple times depending on what time it is. Two chimes for 2 o’clock, seven chimes for 7 o’clock etc.. The clock is in beautiful condition. I tried to show one small scratch on the glass which ends up on center of the hands, the electrical cord has been replaced with a new one and the clock works great.

SETH THOMAS TAMBOUR – 1915. For offer is this granddaddy of all tambours. The largest mantel clock Seth Thomas ever made. The picture is just to give you an idea or reference in the size of this clock. The clock case is made from solid mahogany and shows very few character marks on the back top which can all be seen in the pictures. The case is a huge cylinder shape of holding the dial is accented atop a scroll like pattern on each side of the dial and a hand carved leaf design at each end of the clock. The molded edge to the front and sides of the base give this clock a solid foundation. Please use the zoom feature and enlarge the pictures to see all the details of this clock. This clock offers a large 8-inch convex silvered dial in very good condition showing wear with raised bronze numbers that can be read clearly from a distance and bronze serpentine hour and minute hands to compliment the dial. It even has the original grommets around the winding holes that give this clock a classy look. This clock also features a machined clasp heavy sash that has been cleaned without removing the original patina which opens and closes properly as it should. The original convex beveled glass has no chips or scratches in it. The brass back circular door opens and closes properly as it should and has a floral design to let the cathedral gong decay through the back. The material or cloth has been replaced. This clock has its original lollipop shaped cathedral gong, original bob and the original two sided key. Every aspect of this clock is fully functional. This model is equipped with an 89 movement that was the workhorse of all Seth Thomas movements that has a solid brass back plate and an open front plate that was completely rebuilt by me. This clock strikes the hour and half-hour on a resonant brass cathedral bell gong that is pleasing to the ear. The following procedures are done to each and every clock that I sell and none of the pictures are reused from a previous sale. Disassemble the entire clock and movement myself completely. Install Seth Thomas parts on the movement when needed. Bush all worn pivot holes as needed with superior Burgeon bronze bushings. Clean the entire movement ultrasonically. Clean the original dial sash and glass making sure not to alter the finish. Clean bezel, parts and chime by hand. Clean the outside of the original finish by hand with mild cleaners as well as the inside and apply a coat of wax by hand. Keep the original finish in tact. If you’re looking for “restored to new”, “looks like day one” or “altered” then don’t look here. This does decrease the value of the clock. Reassemble the clock, oil and lube in the proper places. Adjust chime and strike hammer sequence properly to assure smooth and even strikes at each hour and half-hour. Electronically regulate the beat and adjust the speed to ensure accuracy for many generations. Inspect and adjust every minor detail of the clock assuring full function and peak performance for many years to come. Test the clock for a minimum of two weeks to ensure peak and proper performance for the new owner. Smoke free, pet free home. All clocks are cleaned odors removed. Instructions for set up provided, contact number for on going support and discounted maintenance or repair for your clock. This clock measures 14″ H X 32 ½” W X 9 D that will give your home a sense of warmth and charm complimenting any room with its beauty and sound. I can picture this clock on a mantel at someone’s lodge or in a large open foyer displayed at the front door as soon as your guest’s or family arrives. This clock will be a wonderful addition to your homes décor and will appreciate more in value over the years. This clock would make the perfect wedding/anniversary, Valentine’s or Father’s Day gift, a gift for that special someone or just for your own personal collection to pass on to future generations as a family Heirloom. This is a need nothing clock except for the new owner to. Level the clock and wind it up once a week. I do try to list at least one clock every week so please check back.

Very nice, 1921 Seth Thomas Tambour #74 mantle clock with 113 movement. Movement was rebuilt with several bushings replaced. All three main springs were removed, cleaned, and oiled. Beat was adjusted and has been running in test for several months. The chime and strike work as it should. All hammer pads have been replaced. The bezel and beveled glass show some wear but normal for its age. If you have any questions, please ask. I have rebuilt more than 100, 113, and 113A movements over the years. I’m trying to thin out my accumulation of clocks and sacrificing this one at such a low price.
