Grandfather clocks have long been a statement of style and incomparable accuracy, thanks to their swinging pendulums. Since the weights and the pendulum were both long and heavy, they needed to be housed in a tall case, which is how the grandfather clock came about. These elegant timepieces date back to the mid-15th century, and were a sign of affluence in England and, later, the United States. Not only were they the best way to tell time, since they didn’t lose hours like other clocks of that period, they were also beautiful pieces of furniture, most standing between 7 and 9 feet tall.

Grandfather clocks have changed drastically since they first became popular and, while the traditional floor clocks are always a stunning addition to any room, some of the more contemporary models shun the dark wooden casing in favor of metal for a more artistic look.

HOM Furniture offers a range of floor-standing grandfather clocks and other clocks that will make a focal point in your home. Some styles are classic grandfather clocks while there are more modern styles with simple lines.
