Grandfather Clocks and Grandmother Clocks

When brought into a home, two new lives are present---Beauty of Design and the Sound of a New Life

When clocks first made their way to America, it was the maker of the mechanism who was considered the builder of timepieces. Enter the craft and art of the cabinetmaker. As our American culture and our designs evolved away from our former homelands, the forces of art and industry began take us in our new direction.

American tall case (grandfather) clocks as well as the smaller grandmother version when built to their highest level of achievement take one of the predominant places in American furniture making. To be truly worthwhile, they must be built with a complete dedication to design detail and workmanship, as is true of the finest piece of furniture..
