Longcase Clocks
We specialise in longcase clocks of the Twentieth Century, believing that many
are still well undervalued. In particular we like the quality of between the wars
German longcase clocks which used quality materials and were well designed. The
clock movements are very reliable and durable, while many of the cases were
attractive and very well made.
