There are many things that you might want to put into a new home, or a new home to you. Perhaps you want a new bathroom, redecoration, new furniture and a new TV. There are lots of things that you will buy for your new home but most of these will be disposable things. Things that might last you for a while, but you won't expect them to last forever.

Now, there are a few things in a new home that you might want to buy that won't get thrown out in a few years. And one thing that every home needs, at least one if not more, is a quality clock. The best clocks, and the clocks with the most character and history, are, quite simply, antique clocks.

An antique clock that was built hundreds of years ago is going to be a real attention grabber in any home. The main types of antique clock are the gradfather clock, bracket clock, wall clock and carriage clock. You might also choose a banjo clock, with the face at the bottom of the clock in a banjo like style, or a cuckoo clock which will amuse and delight your visitors, but, frankly, might become a little wearing for the residents!

An antique clock also makes an amazing house warming gift for someone very special. They don't have to be super expensive either. Yes, you can certainly spend £3000 on a superb example of an antique clock. However, if your budget is more limited, you should be able to buy a very presentable clock for under £400.

Grandfather clocks are perhaps the most spectacular types of antique clock. They carry a certain gravitas and character always associated with the Victorian era (though earlier examples can be found - at a price). A grandfather clock in a hallway or on a large landing on a staircase creates a real impression of historic importance. Equally, owning and displaying a real antique clock shows you to be a discerning and particular sort of person who appreciates history and craftsmanship, as much as good time-keeping.
