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.
Antique Grandfather Clocks FAQs
Why Is An Antique Grandfather Clock a Great Conversation Piece?
If you’re looking for a unique piece to finish off your room, then a grandfather clock is a great choice. Antique grandfather clocks are the sort of piece that will really stand out and create a focal point in the room, and everyone will want to know the history of the item and where you got it.

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.
Where Can I Find a Fully Restored Grandfather Clock for Sale?
When you look inside a grandfather clock, you’ll see all the tiny pieces that work together to power the clock, and most antique clocks also have intricate features from a brass dial to a beautiful inlay. If you’re looking for 18th century grandfather clocks, you’ll find many pieces on Love Antiques that have been beautifully restored, ready to take pride of place in your home. Old grandfather clocks often need a lot of work to bring them back to working order and will often need a clockmaker to repair the mechanism, but at Love Antiques you can buy a vintage grandfather clock that is hundreds of years old, yet still in working order.
Where Can I Buy A Vintage Grandfather Clock from British Craftsman?
When you look at some of the grandfather clocks for sale through Love Antiques, you’ll notice the majority of them were made in Great Britain.
