Why Buy a Grandfather Clock?

A grandfather clock is a gift of time and timelessness; it can become an heirloom for generations – a beautiful piece of furniture that brings peacefulness through its beautiful appearance and the shimmering sounds of its chimes.

Often you'll know exactly where your clock 'wants to be.' If not, take your imagination through the possibilities. A floor clock is a stately furniture piece, one that will add an elegant presence to its surroundings. Visualizing a clock in a specific place in your home will help lead you to the right style.

Floor clocks come in a range of prices, depending on features and level of detailing. Start thinking about an initial price range as you browse through our collection. The clocks we offer are priced to provide an excellent value, and we are always available to answer your pricing questions.

Adding a floor clock to your home brings not just visual elegance. Your enjoyment of your clock will be refreshed literally every hour as your clock plays a beautiful authentic tune on its chimes. The chime is one of the most important features distinguishing floor clocks. Most floor clocks have a key-wound movement, which must be wound weekly. These clocks play their chimes with genuine brass hammers and sounding rods, which resonate inside the clock for a beautiful effect. The standard clock chime is the Westminster melody, the same melody played by London's Big Ben. Some clocks play this melody only, some will let you choose between several different melodies, and some feature a "Concerto movement" playing various classical music themes. As you browse our collection, look for the type of chimes available on each clock, and listen to the tune samples we provide. (Of course the samples hardly do justice to the shimmering sound of a live grandfather clock.)

Floor clocks today are made in an incredible variety of designs, representing the traditional styles used for centuries up to very modern styles matching the latest furniture trends. More specialized clock designs include shelves for your curios; some include hidden bookshelves and storage compartments. For more complete information on the variety of styles, visit our Style Guide, or just start browsing our extensive collection.

Floor clocks require a minimum of maintenance. With just a little care, you can maintain the exceptional quality of your clock. Wind your clock every seven days. Wax and polish your clock cabinet as frequently as you would your other furniture. The balance of the clock is important for the function of the movement, so you should check periodically to ensure that your clock rests firmly on all four levelers. Check the weights occasionally to ensure that they are still tightly assembled.

Each clock will include a manual describing maintenance in detail. In general, a floor clock movement should be oiled every two years, and thoroughly cleaned every five to ten years depending on climate. Extremely dry, humid or salty air, heat or cold may necessitate more frequent servicing. This servicing should be done by an authorized clock dealer.
