Seth Thomas Antique Horse Calendar Wall/Mantel Clock

The Seth Thomas Antique Horse Calendar Wall/Mantel Clock is a distinguished timepiece recognized for its historical significance and craftsmanship. These clocks, produced by the Seth Thomas Clock Company, date back to the late 19th century and are renowned for their quality and intricate design. Typically, these clocks feature wooden cases made from materials like walnut or oak, often retaining their original finishes.

The calendar mechanism, a hallmark of these clocks, displays the day of the week, the day of the month, and the month itself, often behind a glass panel. The upper dial shows the time, while the lower dial handles the calendar functions. The mechanisms are usually perpetual, adjusting automatically for the length of months and leap years. The eight-day spring-wound movement strikes the hour on a bell, with the inner workings made of brass and steel pinions, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship of the era.

These clocks often bear the Seth Thomas trademark, including painted tin dials and original labels, which can sometimes indicate the retailer if sold abroad. The clocks are valued not only for their functionality but also for their aesthetic and historical value, making them a sought-after item among collectors​.
