Why a Vintage Grandfather Clock adds Charm to your Home?
A grandfather clock works well in all sorts of spaces and helps you create a homely, cosy décor. Antique grandfather clocks are powered by a pendulum, which swings back and forth every second to tell the time. This creates the rhythmic tick, which many people love listening to when they are relaxing. Grandfather clocks also have the pleasing clock chimes, which usually go off every quarter of an hour.

What Are the Most Common Material Old Grandfather Clocks Are Built With?
When you browse our grandfather clocks for sale, you’ll no doubt appreciate the craftsmanship, which begins with authentic wood. Many types of wood aren’t used in modern pieces of furniture or decorative items, as they’re endangered, so your antique grandfather clock will be something that can’t be replicated. Look out for grandfather clocks that are mahogany or oak cased as well as walnut longcase clocks. Mahogany cased antique grandfather clocks are made from the classic mahogany wood which is often used to create these grand clocks. The oak cased clock style was popular in Georgian times, often with intricate carvings for an ornate look. On the other hand, walnut is a rare wood that has depth, adding to the beauty of antique grandfather clocks.
