Description:
|
The longcase clock or ‘grandfather’ clock was made from about 1660 to around 1850. It is believed it was a natural progression from the lantern clock (a weight driven wall clock). The idea of enclosing both the weights (and the pendulum) in a protective case seemed a logical idea, and so the longcase clock was born. |
