Ridgeway Grandfather Clock: The Swan Neck Top Picks
There are many grandfather clocks out there, but the Ridgeway grandfather clock can give you the pediment with the graceful curves of the swan's neck. If you're wondering about the fuss over a swan's neck, know that a graceful and slender neck are the hallmarks of beauty and grace in women.
Find the Swan's Neck in a Ridgeway
There are several models of the Ridgeway grandfather clock that feature the graceful curves of a swan's neck - Independence, Kensingham, Richwwood, Wellington, Beverly Hills, Fairfax, Newberry, Bridgetowne, Wilshire, Martinsville, Sedona, Zeeland, Morgantown, Noah, and Salem, to name a few.
According to various legends and folklore, the swan brought good luck since it was the very model of beauty and purity. In some cultures, women with long necks are judged the fairest among the maidens. A famous ballet that endures to this day is the romantic Russian ballet Swan Lake.
The Ridgeway grandfather clock with the swan neck pediments indeed echo this grace and beauty in different hardwood and veneers. This trademark also lends distinction to the excellent artisanship of the Ridgeway clockmakers.
Top Five Picks
The Richwood, one Ridgeway model, has a case of luxuriant Glen Arbor cherry and is also a curio cabinet. The split pediment displays a fully turned finial crown on its top. The clock face has embossed numerals and a faux moon dial. Full length side doors provide access to the curio cabinet with lighted interiors, powered by an AA battery.
The Richardson is the ideal curio grandfather clock. The two glass shelves have a lighted cabinet and a mirrored back. The clock movement is chain driven and plays the popular Westminster chime. You will delight in the polished 165mm pendulum and its harp, the gleaming weight shells, and the beaded cap where you can place family Remembrance Rings.
The Dexter by Ridgeway was manufactured in the US. Fashioned in the traditional style, the clock boasts of delicate cherry finish, silver-finished chapter ring, and automatic nighttime shut off. It contains the classic chain that provides the Westminster chime. The glass sides provide side viewing of the weight shells and the pendulum. This clock comes with a two-year warranty.
Another gorgeous Ridgeway grandfather clock, the Salem, also sports a chain-driven clock movement and features the Westminster chime. The chime can also be shut off manually with a switch on the dial's side. Large numerals are embossed on the dial's face. In Glen Arbor cherry finish, these clocks makes a proud addition to any home.
The limited edition Independence is the lone clock that chimes God Bless America, America the Beautiful, and Westminster chimes. The strike feature is a unique addition that announces the quarter hour with single, double, or triple strokes, and you can also opt for the hour-strike only. Like most Ridgeway models, Independence has an automatic night silence mechanism. The warm American cherry veneers and hardwood enhances the pewter finished weights and the eye-catching pendulum. This also comes with a two-year warranty.
With these top five swan neck picks, you can always shop with confidence from any clock store selling clocks made by Ridgeway. The Ridgeway grandfather clock has more than a swan neck to offer. The makers of the excellent clocks continue to provide the same commitment towards excellent artisanship, technology, and beauty.
