Antique grandfather (longcase) clock specialist, David Gibson, has been buying and selling clocks since 1973.
West Country
Grandfather clock, fine London longcase clock or even American tallcase clocks, whatever you call them, we restore and sell carefully
selected genuine examples of real merit made between the years 1680 and 1830 together with bracket clocks and early watches of the
same period.
Located on the Devon/Dorset/Somerset border Axminster is a busy and thriving market town with easy
access by train, road or air (Exeter Airport).
Open by appointment 7 days a week. If you are unable to visit us, we are
able to supply high definition photographs and comprehensive descriptions to help you make your choice.
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".
All
clocks are offered for sale with 12 months guarantee, delivery is included free of charge (mainland England and Wales), insurance
valuation and tutorial for looking after your clock (if required) - no obligation! Overseas customers are also well-catered
for. We have packing and shipping arrangements with a local company at very competitive rates.
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.
