Kieninger Floor Clocks

Which grandfather clocks are available?

Sanding varnish, noble mahogany, solid oak, high-quality walnut and pyramid veneer as well as maple inlays bear witness to the best craftsmanship of times gone by. The type of wood determines the colour and grain. The glass grandfather clock in chrome or with gold-plated brass creates a fresh impression with its modern design that goes well with modern furniture. A traditional grandfather clock suits just about any style of furnishing and sets accents. Gold-plated and chrome-plated versions give the observer a noble impression. In addition to the design, the technical equipment, the movement, is of course the second most important criterion for choosing one of these clocks. Monthly runners, the number of sound tubes as well as the tubular gong, the bar gong or a cable movement are further criteria according to which one chooses.

How can the longevity be improved?
The grandfather clock is and was a utilitarian object, home accessory or even furniture, which sometimes had a small box or seating in the lower part (bench). It was considered an eye-catcher for any room, be it in the hallway, drawing room, anteroom or living room.
The placement plays a big role. Preferably opposite the door, so that it immediately catches the eye. Its sound is better perceived in quiet rooms. The room should be clean, dry and not too hot. Wood warps due to moisture and damages the movement. The clocks of the family business are of a very high quality, but it is important that the grandfather clock stands straight and is not constantly placed somewhere else. These clocks only need to be cleaned every 10 to 15 years.
