How are Antique Clocks Valued?
While every timepiece we value is different, and will be valued for different prices, there are some common factors that help to determine what all of them are worth:
- Clockmaker marks: Often, the authenticity of an antique clock can be confirmed by the presence of a clockmaker’s trademark or insignia. This will normally be inscribed on the clock’s movement, and pieces without these are likely to be valued less.
- Provenance: Clocks taken from a particular or prominent collection are likely to be worth more. This is especially true for pieces and collections that are sought-after by dealers, collectors, and others in the trade.
- Condition: Clocks in the best possible condition will fetch higher prices than those with scratches, chips, or missing elements. The condition of the clock’s movement will also have an impact on the overall value.
- Signs of repair: Clocks which have been restored often look their most aesthetically pleasing. However, unrestored clocks, or clocks which haven’t needed any repair work, will command higher prices when valued and sold.
