How do I wind a floor clock?

Winding requires raising the weights gently using the crank key provided with the movement, taking care not to over-wind the striking or time trains. Consult the specific instructions for your clock's weight arrangement to ensure the mechanism remains balanced and accurate.

Where should I place a burr walnut clock?

Position your clock on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and damp areas to protect the delicate walnut veneer and internal wood movement components. Ensure the floor beneath the clock is level so the pendulum swings evenly and the case stands secure without leaning.

How do I tell an 18th-century clock from a revival piece?

Examine the construction of the interior carcase timbers, the wear patterns around the keyholes, and the hand-engraving style on the brass dial face. Early seventeenth and eighteenth-century examples exhibit traditional joinery techniques and patination that twentieth-century revival models cannot replicate.

What is the difference between a grandfather and grandmother clock?

Grandfather clocks are the standard full-size longcase clocks standing over six feet tall, designed with substantial weights and tall proportions. Grandmother clocks are scaled-down versions produced predominantly in the twentieth century, fitting lower ceiling heights whilst retaining full mechanical chiming functions.
