What is considered a grandmother clock?

1 Answer
What is considered a grandmother clock?
A grandmother clock is one that is shorter than a grandfather clock. It stands less than 6’3” tall and has a slimmer case. As it takes up less space than a grandfather clock, a grandmother clock is a great choice for halls, foyers and smaller rooms.
