This traditional British grandmother longcase clock from 1920 is made from oak with a warm honey brown colour and visible graining. The tall wooden casing has an arched top hood, an arched trunk door, and is raised on squashed bun feet. The brass dial includes a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, brass spandrels, and a subsidiary dial above. A glazed panel sits in the arched door and a white tag is tied to the keyhole area. The clock is 193 cm high. This tall timepiece is suitable for placement in a hallway, living room, or study within a home today, providing both timekeeping and traditional decoration. The movement operates on an eight day schedule with chime choices and strike settings.

FAQs

A grandmother clock is a freestanding, pendulum-driven floor clock characterised by its shorter height and slimmer proportions compared to a traditional grandfather clock, typically measuring under six feet tall.

These clocks are constructed using hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut for the casing, combined with brass dials, steel movement components, and cast metal weights or springs.

Authentic mechanical examples feature key-wound movement ports on the dial, weighted or spring-driven pendulum mechanisms, metal hands, and carved or molded wooden housing.

Positioning a longcase clock in an entryway, hallway, or dining space creates a vertical architectural anchor that contrasts clean modern lines with traditional woodwork.

The wooden case should be kept away from direct heat sources and moist environments, dusted regularly with a soft cloth, and treated periodically with natural beeswax polish.
