Grandfather Clocks Stay While Presidents Come and Go |
Posted February 15, 2009 |
In a post on this blog shortly after the November Presidential General Election, we featured a picture of then-President Bush talking to President-Elect Obama from the Oval Office, with a historical White House clock in the background.
After President Barack Obama took office on January 20, the pictures of him working in the Oval Office on the first day of his new Presidency show that VERY SAME Grandfather Clock in the background. You can see the 2 pictures below. One thing for sure we can conclude this time, is that whether a Democrat or Republican or somewhere in-between, or whether we are in “post-partisan” politics now or not, American Presidents still have great taste in grandfather clocks!

We would also like to thank one of our blog readers for posting history about this grandfather clock, which we are repeating here for convenience purposes:
From Answer.com, an article on the Oval Office: [courtesy of K. Nixon] a large case clock, commonly called a grandfather clock, built in Boston by John and Thomas Seymour, c. 1795-1805, stands in the northeast portion of the room.
Grandfather clocks are both cool or hot, depending upon one's terminology, and we have a great grandfather clocks selection at 1-800-4CLOCKS
