Chime Floor Clocks Add A Soothing Musical Quality To Your Home Or Workplace

Chime clocks are not, by far, a new kind of invention-though there are more sophisticated clocks labeled as chime clocks that have recently been designed. The chime clock is a classic and provides a soothing musical addition to your home or office. I have searched out a few different kinds of chime clocks and here are some styles that I have discovered:

There are mantel chime clocks that can be used as a mantelpiece, atop a shelf, on a small or on a decorative table. Chime clocks are generally manufactured from stained pine wood and, if they are well-maintained, will probably be with you for long after the purchase.

Some chime clocks are the larger type, such as floor chime clocks to be set on the floor. They usually stand about six feet and some have pendulums. There are newer designs developing for these floor clocks in which the pendulum is not only a hanging sphere, but perhaps shaped like an arrowhead or a swirl. I have even seen some mantel chime clocks that had a straight pendulum on them. Nothing at the end--just a straight, heavy, metal clinging piece.

Other larger, floor chime clocks do not have pendulums, a few of these chime clocks require a certain amount of winding that works sort of like window blinds. With these chime clocks, you pull the chain so that the hanging pieces (which hang but they are not pendulums) end up at the top of the clock--directly under the clock. The chains are lowered slowly as the clock keeps the time and last for about twelve hours before they need winding again. Some come with small pendulums that fall behind the chains--but most of them do not.

Most all chime clocks cannot be obtained in ordinary shops, but must be sought at specialty clock shops.

Several chime clocks are wall pieces ranging widely in size and shape. The wood is stained sometimes--but chime clocks can come painted, also. There are various shades and designs--some would go perfect in the kitchen, some in the den or living room, some in the study and chime clocks can also give a classy and somewhat stylish look to your office.

Most chime clocks, however, are made of stained wood, some arching at the top, others flat on both top and bottom with a subtle design on the sides. Some are long and slender, while others are shorter and broad--there are numerous variations. Regardless of who you are and what your tastes are, you should be able to find a chime clock would compliment your home or office.
