How to Shop for Grandfather Clocks?
Grandfather clocks, the most elegant and graceful of furnishings, are among the most daunting of fine furniture purchases. Because they are usually a once-in-a-lifetime purchase buyers seldom have experience buying one of these coveted treasures. Some how-to tips for evaluating the vast array of grandfather clocks available today include: Make an initial non-buying trip to a local clock store or factory: Talk with the sales people or manufacturer about clock features and prices. Look, touch, but don’t buy! Check online stores and manufacturers as well as local outlets before making a purchase decision. Set a price range or limit: Staying within a budget is difficult when the merchandise is so beautiful, so setting a firm price limit is wise for most buyers. Make sure delivery and set-up fees are included in price quotes. Custom or production manufactured clock: Many manufacturers take orders for custom grandfather clocks. Such a clock may cost 10% to 25% more than a ready-made clock, but will be a valuable one-of-a-kind heirloom timepiece, worthy of passing on to future generations. Style and wood choices: Purchase a clock that compliments the decor of the room where it will set. Buyers with furniture of oak, maple, walnut, teak, etc, will doubtless want to choose their clock from among the many crafted in the wood of their choice. Interestingly, both modern and traditionally styled grandfather clocks are also available in such metals as brass or wrought iron. Clock face, pendulum, and weights: Their faces, pendulums, and weights are major distinguishing features of grandfather clocks. Clock faces featuring such charming additions as phases of the moon, or barometric pressure, often cost little more than those that are plain faced. Likewise, highly etched or intricately formed weights and pendulums may cost only a few additional dollars. Chime tones: The variety of chime tones offered by the manufacturers of Grandfather clocks is enormous. Since the clock will chime many times each day, it is essential the chime tones are pleasing to the listener’s ear. Many clocks have several tone settings. Although there are only a few clockmakers manufacturing grandfather clocks, the selection offered is enormous and varied.
