This beautiful Seth Thomas mantel clock is offered as a made-to-order, professionally finished timepiece, combining an immaculate original case with a brand-new German mechanical movement installed specifically for the buyer.

Because the movement is brand new, not refurbished or repaired, the clock now runs with the accuracy, reliability, and smoothness of a factory-fresh timepiece. No wear, no previous owners, and no service history—just a clean, precise, dependable mechanism ready for decades of use.
Housed in an elegant arched wooden case with decorative finials and classic Roman numeral dial, this piece offers timeless presence and vintage character, perfect for a mantel, shelf, office, or library display.

⚠️ Condition Notes
Minor cosmetic wear consistent with age, including some edge wear along the base and light patina to metal accents. These do not detract from performance or overall beauty and add authentic vintage character.
A new 130-020 movement alone typically costs over $300, making this a fantastic value for collectors who want the warmth of a vintage mantel clock without the worry of an aging mechanism.
