Transform Your Home with a Timeless Grandfather Clock
It is always nerve-racking to shift into a new residence. By the time you empty out one carton after another of painstakingly covered china and carefully folded clothes, you are thoroughly exhausted. But before a sense of novelty and fatigue hits you, put up your old but comfortable furniture and allow your grandfather clock’s gentle chimes to wash all over you and calm you down.
The term grandfather clock was taken from the hit number “Grandfather’s Clock,” that Henry Clay Work had penned in 1876. The initial grandfather clocks sported a traditional architectural look, but since then an extensive array of styles have become widely popular.
The expressions “granddaughter”, “grandmother”, and “grandfather”, have been employed to depict these clocks. While these terms have no real expressly defined difference amongst them, the universal view appears to be that if a clock is less than five feet, it is a granddaughter; if it is more than five feet, it is a grandmother clock; and if it above six feet in height, it is a grandfather.
