Grandfather Clocks Grandfather clocks are the most stately of antique clocks and can totally define a room. Their elegance and the robustness of their chimes make grandfather clocks one of the most sought after of all antique clocks. A well-crafted grandfather clock has an enduring elegance that adds character to any home or office.
Grandfather clocks were first produced in the middle 17th century, and go back to the time of Galileo. Grandfather clocks (also known as longcase clocks or tallcase clocks) were originally only available to the royal and noble elite who could afford these master pieces. Most antique grandfather clocks have ornate wood casings and exquisite carvings, and were the results of very skilled craftsmen who spent years through apprenticeship to learn their trade.
The eloquence of an antique grandfather clock will be passed on to following generations, while the value continues to increase. An antique grandfather clock can dramatically change the face of your interior design and will add a stunning effect that will never fail to delight you. |
