Frequently Asked Questions
Our Clocks
We keep a small but carefully selected stock of genuine British antique clocks made between the years 1680 and 1830.
The greatest diligence is exercised in the selection, research and documentation however inexpensive the item.
Restorations &
Authenticity
Realistically it is unlikely that any longcase clock has survived upto 300 years of domestic life without some restoration.
It is reasonable to assume that most of our antique longcase clocks have restored feet and finials unless otherwise stated.
However, all of our antique clocks can be supplied with detailed descriptions and condition reports. Each clock is sympathetically
restored by our small team of skilled artisans. Each clock is immaculately presented in full working condition, with a full
mechanical guarantee.
Descriptions
You will find that our antique clocks are fully described in a non-technical manner by
David Gibson, or occasionally by an accredited expert, museum curator, etc. You can comfortably rely on these descriptions.
David's specialist knowledge has over the years been keenly sought by publishers and broadcast media and he has appeared on the popular
BBC TV programmes "Antiques Roadshow" and "Going for a Song".

within the UK. Overseas customers are also well-catered for. We have packing and shipping arrangements with a local company

the nature of our business is that we often have waiting lists for some rarer clocks.
