Vintage railway clocks
Make a bold and timely statement (sorry couldn’t resist the pun) with a vintage railway clock.
The over-sized graphics create a lot of impact. Painted white, this clock makes a bold statement.
The interplay of the black and white graphics are terrific. I love the lime green, too.
This is my favorite. The enormous clock is all you need. I love the French café chairs with the wood tavern table. It works.
Resources. If you live in Europe, you’re in luck – you’ll have an easier time finding vintage clocks. Check salvage shops. Here are some places to try.
We really don’t see many clocks, do we? Do you think they’re making a comeback? Do you ever think of buying a clock for your mantle? How about a grandfather clock?

It’s Manuel Canovas paper – you have good taste. It’s pricey! It comes in lots of wild colors.

You have some interesting clocks in this gallery collection. I had never seen a collection of railway clocks before as I am rather new to this scene, but I can appreciate how they are incorporated into each setting. I would think that it would take someone with your design skills to make each setting work. Most individuals would have a very difficult time placing a clock of this large size on a wall and then have it look as if it belonged there.
Not really my taste, but I can appreciate them.
I have an offline customer that is a collector of clocks and will love these pics though.
Fantastic pictures as always!
