Where should I place a brown standing clock?

These tall timepieces require a level floor and a stable interior wall to support the heavy wooden case and plumb the pendulum accurately. Avoid placing them in areas subject to dampness or direct sunlight, which can damage timber veneers and brass movements over time.

What is the difference between a grandfather and grandmother clock?

Grandfather clocks are full-sized longcase timepieces standing over six feet tall, dating mostly from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Grandmother clocks are significantly shorter variants built with smaller movements, appearing more frequently in twentieth-century designs.

How do I identify the period of a case?

Examine the primary timber, hardware style and dial construction, noting whether the wood is eighteenth-century figured mahogany or later Art Deco walnut. Signatures inscribed on the dial often reference recorded regional makers who worked within specific historical decades.
