grandmother clock
Smaller grandfather timepiece
A grandmother clock is a floor-standing pendulum clock similar to a grandfather clock but shorter, typically between five and six feet tall.
The name follows the family naming convention: grandfather clocks are tallest, grandmother clocks are mid-sized, and granddaughter clocks are smallest.
The grandmother clock fit perfectly in the hallway where a full grandfather clock would have been too tall.
