Wilford Grandfather Clocks 611-226

Chimes quarter-hours & strikes the hours.

These traditional Howard Miller Wilford grandfather clocks 611-226 display a Cherry Bordeaux finish on select hardwoods and veneers.

The bonnet pediment features bookmatched, ash burl overlays.

The polished brass-finished dial offers detailed corner spandrels and center disc, a circular brushed silver chapter ring with applied brass-finished Arabic numerals, and an astrological blue moon phase with a pierced star pattern.  Our staff loves moon dials because they add such an interesting functional aspect to grandfather clocks.

Polished brass-finished pendulum with complementing center disk and polished brass-finished weight shells. The pendulum is an important part of the clock and helps regulate the speed.  Similarly, the weights are also an important part and are what power the clock.  The middle weight powers the time and the pendulum.  The left weight (as you're facing the clock) powers the hour strikes.  Lastly, the right weight (as you're facing the clock) powers the quarter chimes. We've written an article on how clocks work for some more interesting information.

The lower door panel features book-matched olive ash burl overlays in the corners that frame the crystal cut V-grooved glass.

Reeded columns include turned top and bottom caps.

Illuminated case with a glass mirrored back.

Howard Miller Wilford grandfather clocks showcase the German Kieninger, cable-driven, Westminster chime movement that plays 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 chimes accordingly with full chime and strike on the hour.  We've written an article on clock chimes for more interesting information and history on this wonderful chime. 

Automatic nighttime chime shut-off option, which some people love because they don't hear it chime while they sleep.  Yet other people want to hear the clock chime all of the time.  Our experience is that the clock chimes are something that you get used to and will come to enjoy.

Free brass Heirloom Nameplate will be engraved with your name and special date.  This is something you can send in for and we definitely recommend.  These traditional grandfather clocks can become heirloom timepieces if properly taken care of and the nameplate will add to the memory for future generations.  

Free Heirloom Record Certificate with brass-finished capsule is included.  Again, this is another thoughtful idea because this will add more meaning for future generations.  

Four floor levelers level the cabinet on any surface.
