Grandfather clocks for sale
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Grandfather clock or Floor clock
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Why is this clock called a Holtzhausen Grandfather clock and these clocks Floor clocks?
This Yellowwood clock should then also be a Floor Clock like the Howard Miller La Rochelle, or not?
If not then, what is the distinction?
Grandfather, grandmother and granddaughter are all names ascribed to Floor clocks. A Floor clock is any free standing clock that is made for the interior of a dwelling or building. Colloquilly we started referring to clocks above 6ft as Grandfather, under 6ft as Grandmothers and under 5ft as granddaughters. It has become fasionable to speak about Floor clocks again simply because a clock like Kieninger’s 1026-02-01 doesn’t fit comfortably with the name “grandfather”.
