Grandfather Clock Styles for Tops of Clocks | Posted August 2, 2007 |

2. Bonnet Topped Grandfather Clock - generally a grandfather clock with a decorative top centerpiece, and can be on top of a traditional grandfather clock design, or one with a contemporary clock look, and some that may look a little bit of each. Below are examples of two Bonnet Topped Grandfather Clocks:

4.
Round Top Grandfather Clock - which can be either a contemporary or more traditional look for a grandfather clock, and can be more of a full circle sitting on a base or a half-circle more integrated with the design of the clock. Examples of some different styles are shown below, including one which, while having a rounded top, has another feature which clearly sets it apart from the clock.

Slim Circular Grandfather or Grandmother Clock - Example 2 (above)
Rounded Top Grandfather Clock - Example 3 (above)

The limits of the designs of grandfather clocks are only limited by the imagination of the artisans and craftspeople, not to mention incorporating the mechanisms and dials, and there are likely dozens of examples that would not fit neatly into any one or even more of the above categories. Grandfather Clocks have the personality of their makers and designers, and to the tastes and influences of cultures, artists of different periods, the consumers - from old-time aristocrats to larger markets of consumers. Clocks have PERSONALITY! © Grandfather Clocks Blog and 1-800-4CLOCKS
