I run my clock repairs from Braintree Antiques Centre and I try and keep the blog on this site separate from the centres because… well, this blog is about clocks and repairs, not about selling clocks. That said I have been asked several times to source a “grandmother clock”. What people mean by this is actually a cottage style grandfather; there is no such thing as a “grandmother clock” but the term is widely used for smaller grandfather clocks. Thats what this clock is – a short grandfather suitable (in height) for a modern house with lower ceilings. So here it is and here is the link to more info on the Braintree Antiques Centre blog.
