This Edwardian Gothic Revival longcase clock is a freestanding grandmother clock made of dark brown oak with glass and brass elements. The case includes a pointed arched hood, a glazed door revealing a brass dial with decorative spandrels, a chime selector sub-dial, a rectangular central trunk panel, a stepped plinth base, and visible wood grain texture. The movement has an eight-day duration with strike and silent functions and plays three tunes including Westminster, Winchester, and Whittington. Measuring 75 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, this tall timepiece stands upright on the floor. Position this clock in a hallway, study, or living room as a traditional timekeeping focal point. The vertical proportions allow it to fit comfortably against narrow wall spaces while adding period character to a home. The dark timber finish coordinates easily with traditional and transitional furniture layouts, operating as both a functional timepiece and decorative floor-standing furniture.

FAQs

A grandmother clock is a slender variation of the traditional longcase clock, defined by its shorter heighttypically under six feet talland smaller proportions compared to a standard grandfather clock.

Grandmother clocks were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring brass dial plates, decorative corner spandrels, and glass hood panels.

Authentic pieces feature mechanical pendulum-driven or spring-driven movements, hand-engraved dial faces with chime selector dials, and genuine timber joinery within the trunk case.

A slender floor clock adds verticality and architectural interest when placed in an entrance hallway, stair landing, or home office, contrasting cleanly against neutral modern walls.

Preservation requires regular horological servicing of the mechanical movement, keeping the clock away from direct heat sources to prevent timber warping, and applying natural beeswax to the case.
