The English longcase clocks that we have are from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Longcase clocks are also known as grandfather clocks, and in America they are known as tallcase clocks.
All our clocks have been overhauled and sympathetically restored. They are in good working order and have a 12 month guarantee.
Delivery is free in England and Wales and we will be pleased to arrange packing and shipping of any item, to anywhere in the world.
We also have 3 good books for sale on longcase clocks: ROBINSON (T.):The Longcase Clock
ROBERTS (D.): British Longcase Clocks
