Black marble clocks were a mass produced clock with case of black marble, faced with black marble. In cheaper versions black slate was used instead of marble. They were popular during the 19th centuries. The clock cases were often highly decorative and ornate, with intricate carvings, gilded accents, and other embellishments. Black marble clocks were typically large free-standing pieces that were designed to be placed on a mantelpiece or a side table. Many of these clocks had a pendulum and a visible escapement mechanism. Some of the more ornate clocks also featured decorative elements. In the 20th century, the popularity of black marble antique clocks began to decline as technological advances resulted inmore affordable and mass-produced timepieces that became the norm in households. Despite this, many antique black marble clocks have survived and are highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts of antique timepieces.
